[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1153631, member: 33822"] Barrelnut summed it up very well. I went with the 50mm because the larger size/weight wasn't much over the 44mm, and I wanted to maximize the optical performance. And to my eyes the VX6 glass is a nice step up over any VX3 I have ever owned, or any of the same weight and similarly priced Vortex optics. the conclusion I came to with trying to find the perfect scope for a hunting rifle is that although top tier optics are nice especially shooting at paper, you just don't need them to shoot animals at even long range. On top of that I really just do not want to spend $2k on a scope or attach a boat anchor to my rifle. I started a thread early in 2015 talking about this and Engineering101 had a great response: "Optics are good enough when you are confident in what is going to happen when you pull the trigger." i thought that was a very straight forward common sense way to think about scopes, and realized that although no 'perfect' scope is out there, there are several that are plenty good enough.
