[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 18698, member: 313"] All else being EQUAL, a larger objective lens will provide a larger exit pupil (more light). A larger exit pupil COULD provide for a brighter image depending on magnification and pupil dilation of the shooter's eye. An additional benefit would be the larger light column visible at the ocular lens, this would allow for easier (quicker) acquisition of the target within the scope. Comparing large inexpensive scopes to smaller expensive scopes would be a futile endevour with many ill-conceived conclusions. For the vast majority of hunting in daylight, with variable power scopes, the 40mm will do everything that needs to be done. Better to buy quality optics than LARGE optics IMO. [/QUOTE]
