[QUOTE="rdsii64, post: 350299, member: 13978"] When it comes to rifle optics you want two things. first. you want the highest resolution glass you can afford. Second, you want the center of the scope to be as close to the center of the bore as you can get it. If you get good enough glass the difference between the two objective mesurements you speak of will be not be worth talking about. The glass that is usually put in affordable optics require 50mm objectives to be of any use during the times that big game animals are most active. If the glass in your price range is good enough I would suggest an objective of no larger than 42. this will go a long way toward proper head placement on the stock. [/QUOTE]
