[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 411369, member: 8927"] I have the older VIII 4.5 - 14 x 40 LR. I have the fine duplex and a couple of times I wished I had gone for the Varmint hunters reticle as retiredcpo suggested. I usually dialup but a couple of times I have followed animals through the scope that would stop occasionally, but not long enough to adjust the dials. The 50 mm objective will give you a bit longer at dusk but one test I saw the difference was only a few minutes. You are probably going to have to add some sort of cheekpiece if you go with the 50mm. I have glued some closed-cell foam on the cheekpiece of the standard rem sporter stock with my 40mm. I haven't shot to 1000 yds but have used it on rocks etc out to 860 yds and haven't felt disadvantaged by 14 power. Depends on whether your targets are deer or varmints. Stu. [/QUOTE]
