The March 8-80X is built on a 34 mm tube and I wish I would of never looked through one because its now a must-have product. Exit pupils greater than 8 mm won't increase brightness, but bigger tubes are sometimes required to maintain the 8 mm exit pupil. Why bigger tubes? More light required would be my guess. If I'm on my gut trying to shoot .5 MOA at 900 meters the least of my worries is having gun balance. I would worry more about my zipper being down when accepting an award, for shooting or BS'ing.
