[QUOTE="Coues Sniper, post: 204062, member: 9377"] If weight isn't a concern, I say go with the nightforce 5.5-20. The 50mm and the 56mm are only 1oz different, but the 56 offers some cheek weld issues as others have stated. If weight is a concern I'd suggest a Leupold 4.5-14 or 6.5-20. For what it's worth i have a Leupold VXL 4.5-14x56 (the one with the cut out of the bottom) and really like it. It has the brightness of a 52 mm but mounts as low as a 40 mm. Best of both worlds ;). And it's still pretty lightweight. BB, does the thumbhole force the need for a higher cheek weld? [/QUOTE]
