[QUOTE="brian b, post: 19902, member: 2797"] Trader338, Your origional question "what is better a50mm obj.or a 56mm obj." my question is what are you using it for ??? If I was packing it on a light carry gun I would take the 50mm or smaller (40mm),if it was on my 24lb. 1000yard gun that I dont pack around give me the 56mm or bigger (80mm).Quality of glass is an issue also, on the Nightforce there might not be that big of a difference between the two because they use quality glass and it is only 6mm diference.if you take El Chinero quality of glass it is junk if it is 40mm or 80mm. You can take a Leupold 6.5x20 40mm and put it next to a Leupold 6.5x20 50mmLR with the 30mm tube,in mid-day light you dont notice that much difference but at dawn or dusk at 20 power absolutely no comparison the 50mm is better it just all depend's on what your need's are B [/QUOTE]
