[QUOTE="sandbar782, post: 1072606, member: 64342"] Thank you all for your responses so far. jpd676 - when you put the 56 next to the 50, say at dawn or dusk, can you see more (light) through the 56? This would be in you opinion, of course, but technically the 56 should gather more light. I concur whole heartedly in your assessment of the 50 being more than sufficient for what most people would ever need and physically sitting lower on the rifle. My problem is that I have no real experience with a 50 or a 56, so I have no basis for comparison. I am looking hard at the 5.5-22x50mm Nightforce NXS. I have a VERY hard time believing that I need the 56mm or that I will be disappointed with the 50 mm. [/QUOTE]
