[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1659015, member: 75779"] I read a few years ago that anything over 42-44 mm was not perceptible to the human eye. I wish Leupold would use a little common sense with their product lines. 4-20 is a great scope range for hunting. While a relatively small group of shooters regularly shoot out to 1000 plus yards, the vast majority of hunters shoot 500 or less. Many hunters only shoot a couple boxes of ammo per year. So, adding 34mm tubes is a disservice because mounts get much more expensive and most folks don't need more than 2 revs (1 is probably more than enough) on the elevation turret. Then putting a 56mm objective throws the cheek weld off. My heart was set on the vx5hd 4-20 until I saw tube and objective diameter. [/QUOTE]
