[QUOTE="Lionel Boyd Johnson, post: 2205704, member: 110111"] I'm 76 and my eyes aren't what they used to be. So last fall, I bought and mounted three new scopes on my deer rifles: a Leupold VX-3, 3.5-10x40, a Leupold VX-3, 3.5-10x50, and a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40. I looked through each scope at first and last light over several days looking at objects in a meadow and in the edge of the woods. The Zeiss "may" have given me a slightly sharper image, but all three were within seconds of each other - not minutes - in resolving objects in marginal light. Since my deer rifles are built more along mountain rifle specs rather than bipod/rest specs; I found the 50mm objective less desirable than the two 40mm scopes. For those of you with 10+ pound rifles, the 50mm would feel just fine. -Ed [/QUOTE]
