    Contractor 640 2.3-9.2x35

    Recognizes a hog at 150 yd29° apparent FOV — how big the view looks

    The Armasight Contractor 640 2.3-9.2x35 ranks #54 of 80 640-class scopes on image: priced above the class middle without the image to match — the chart below shows scopes with more picture for the money (image 70, class median 73; $4,799 against $3,994). The same Chinese core sits in the ATN ThOR LTV 640 2-6x at $2,099.99 — the extra $2,699 here buys the 35mm lens.
