Brian, great videos. I have a REAP 35mm but I am considering the 60mm. Was curious if less FOV with the 60mm is a challenge with runners inside 100 yards? It looks like you shoot on 2X a lot of the time so the FOV must not be an issue?
Everybody has a different idea of what is right and wrong and really that is up to the individual shooter. So this is my opinion.
I like the extra magnification. For me, it becomes an issue on runners more like inside of 50 yards than 100. Not everyone feels this way, of course. I consider my ideal shooting distance to be 75-125 yards. I prefer not to be closer to that when possible. I would rather be at 150 yards instead of 50 for hogs.
I have, on occasion, just rolled the knob immediately after the shot to click down the magnification to get more FOV, but I don't do that very often. In the REAP, the process will be a tad more complicated to cycle through the magnification setting.
At the base magnification, I certainly don't think it would be an issue.
The real exception to this is for me is when starting out with hogs that are really widely separated in a field. This does not happen too often.
