[QUOTE="John Burns, post: 19242, member: 2164"] I have compared the 40 mm and 50mm Leupolds side by side as the light fades. We set up a 4.5x14x40mm. a 4.5x14x50mm 1 inch and a 4.5x14x50mm w/30mm tube and found about 10 minutes of difference favoring the 50mm. As stated before the 40mm got us to legal shooting hours but depending on conditions I suppose there might be a situation where it could be a difference in a legal situation. Dark animal or trying to distinguish horns in a group of animals. I use the 50s on heavier rifles and (10 -11 lbs) and 40s for everything else. One thing I really do believe is if you want a 50 get the 30mm tube with the side focus. Big improvement. [/QUOTE]
