[QUOTE="ScottCoulter36, post: 462986, member: 30202"] Whether you go with the 50 or 56 is going to mainly depend on what kind of shooting/hunting you're going to be doing. If you hunt in heavily wooded areas or in places that are often gloomy, and don't mind the extra 1/4" or so in height, then go with the 56. I actually called nightforce last night and had alot of questions for the guys before I personally decide on a scope. The rep said he has this scope in 50mm on his 300 rum and has never had an issue with light. I asked him about the light transmission difference between the two and he said it's practically not noticeable. So my opinion from that is that if you are using this as a hunting rifle, go with the 50 for less height and the tiny bit of less weight. If you are bench shooting, you might as well get the 56 since it's the same price anyways. Good luck with your choice, and let us know what you decide and how it worked out as I'm planning on buying a scope in the next month or two, Scott [/QUOTE]
