Anybody combined these (13 ethos and dioptrx)?
I'm asking because I just took delivery on a 26 nagler and notice the ER is quite tight with the dioptrx (the 27 pan is much more forgiving)...and since the stated ER for the 26N is 16mm, while for the ethos it's 15mm, I'm wondering if I'm going to have my eyeball up against the glass if I take the ethos plunge.

thanks--
geo.

Are you sure you need a dioptrx at 13mm? I use one at 40mm, but I do OK without at higher magnifications. This is very common.

Otherwise you may have to take the plunge to find out. You won't have a hard time re-selling the ethos. regards Greg N
