[QUOTE="fireroad, post: 302391, member: 17359"] dewiseman - You are correct...I believe another OP hit the nail on the head by comparing the tubes to bike frames. For the same weight, a larger thinner walled tube is stronger than a thicker walled smaller diameter tube. My point was that some people purchase a 30mm tube soley because they believe it is stronger when in reality 1. a 1" tube on a good scope is plenty strong enough and 2. the reason behind the 30mm tube design was increased range in adjustments. I would fell bad if somone paid the extra money for a 30mm tube because they thought they needed it for strength alone. [/QUOTE]
