[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 19901, member: 313"] In theory, with either scope, the 56mm will allow maximum light to reach your eye @ 9.3X, and the 50mm will provide the same amount of light when set on 8.3X. Under dark conditions when you really need the maximum amount of light (6mm exit pupil) do you NEED more than the 8.3X that the 50mm scope provides? Probably not. I'll go with the guys who recommend the 44mm objective scopes. They are smaller, lighter, less expensive and provide maximun light when set @ 7.3X. That is MORE magnification than I almost ever use in the field while hunting biggame. VH [/QUOTE]
