[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1244055, member: 10291"] I have used both. Yes, the difference is light transmission. From a practical standpoint,when hunting, is that it may be better visibility in the shadows or an extra few minutes or so of extra light transmission at dusk and dawn....given an equivalent reticle size. Personal preference and hunting style generally dictates the choice. I find that under hunting conditions, the differences are more difficult to distinguish and I don't think that I would have not been able to make a shot because of the size of the objective. I personally prefer a 50mm objective on my rifles from an ergonomic standpoint. The height of the 56mm objective requires an additional 1/8-1/4" of comb height for a proper cheek weld. The NSX is already a bulky scope, and the added height and mass of a large objective exascerbates this. My LR rifles are carried quite a lot so the weight and dimensions of my rifle is an important factor to me. [/QUOTE]
