[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 805713, member: 22335"] Taller rings will be needed, and it may make it more difficult to get as good cheek weld and a repeatable mount when shouldering your rifle. There is a definite difference in shouldering a rifle with a 40mm objective vs a 50mm objective which requires taller rings. In addition it doesn't make the picture any clearer - the glass quality is still the same. The benefit is that the larger objective lens allows more light in during low light situations. So, the first or last few minutes of the day is where it may have the advantage. The 3-9x40 is still available around $400 online, and with patience you may find it less here in the classifieds or on eBay. [/QUOTE]
