[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 774753, member: 41442"] in my opinion you gain nothing at the expensive of having a scope mounted so high that its awkward to use with your cheek on the butstock like it should be. May be an advantage with the magnification gets about 12x in low light but most arent shooting far enough in low light to have a scope cranked up to 16x anyway. Field of view is usually a compromise between magnification, and eye relief. It has little to do with tube size or objective lense size. If it did id think that 1x4 scopes used for dangerous game hunting and brush hunting would use bigger then 20mm objectives. Spend your money on a 40mm scope with better lenses quality anyday over a 50mm in the same price range.For expample a varix3 leupold with a 40mm objective will usually outperform a varix2 with a 50mm or a nikon monarch with a 40 compared to a buckmaster with a 50. They can usually be bought a near the same prices and the monrarch and vx3 will usually resolve better have less distortion around the edges and do better even in low light due to there superior lens coatings.
