[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 440717, member: 9172"] The only true test I have seen was a few years ago. I was was shooting a few rifles for some friends of mine. One had a Leuplod 4.5 - 14 x 40mm and the other a 4.5-14x 50mm. Both scopes were baught new that fall from Cabellas. It was PAINFULLY clear that the 50mm scope was far brighter in low light at the end of the day (when I like to do my shooting) than the 40mm. So much so that I actualy stopped shooting for the night and set the guns up side by side and just looked through them till DARK DARK. Now, during the day....same-same-same. Anyway, around here the best shooting is at/near dark. Probably everywhere, actualy. I have never baught anything but big objective lenses since, except for my match guns. [/QUOTE]
