[QUOTE="NightforceKen, post: 236203, member: 11937"] Savage, I currently have a 5.5x22x56 on my 300 Win Mag and it is almost as if the scope was built around this gun. Not three days ago i was out scouting for a very nice Whitetail buck I have seen several times and I happened to catch some movement in a deep ravine 200 yards below me. The sun had set and the shadows made it so that I could not see very well into this ravine. I placed the scope on 5.5 power and glanced into the ravine. This scope made it possible for me to see through the shadows and spot the rear end of this Buck. I had hoped that i would get to look at his rack and use the NP-R1 to measure his rack to decide whether or not he was worth taking the shot. He never turned. In a nut shell, having the larger objective enabled me to see where my naked eye could not. Through the shadows and into the deep brush. I also use a 3.5x15 for Coyote hunting in the EENT and BMNT hours and the 56mm Objective helps tremendously. Having the slightly larger objective does give you a few more minutes to shoot where a smaller objective would be lacking. For target shooting you simply cannot beat a larger objective. This will give you a larger exit pupil size and this relates to better resolution. Your average guy sometimes cant see the difference between a 50mm and a 56mm but ask the shooters on the line if they can see a noticeable difference. Hope this information helps you, if not give me a call. Regards, Ken Sales/ Tech Support Nightforce Optics [/QUOTE]
