[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1279611, member: 70559"] The Leupold 3- 18X44 has a 30mm tube. One can get right close to the barrel with 30mm rings as well as they can with 1" tube. I certainly don't want to mislead anyone about the Bushnell 6500 2 1/2-16X50. I only compared it with the great scope for low light performance. It matched the 4 1/2-30X50. But today when I compared it with the 4 1/2-30X50 and the Bushnell [B]4200[/B] 4-16X40 on the military chart rather than the deer antlers in the woods it came in third. With all three scopes set on 16X I could make out the second pair of lines down in the third group on the chart with the 2 1/2-16X50. With the 4-16X40 I could see one pair below that and with the 4 1/2-30X50 I could see the one even below that. This will be the forth Bushnell 2 1/2-16X I return for a refund. Low light was great. Day light was very good; but not for $600 when the $400 scope beat it on the chart and matched it on the antlers. [/QUOTE]
