[QUOTE="FTRshooter, post: 1834744, member: 112707"] There are two schools of thoughts on the selection of the objective size. One says keep the rifle small and handy and get the 42mm tube for hunting because you will rarely be at high magnification while hunting and the larger objective will not make much appreciable difference at magnifications less than say 8X or even 10X. The other school of thought is that some people want all the light possible so they can use the higher magnification longer, or later in the day. When I was at SHOT 2020, I talked to a bunch of folks on either side of that debate and the folks who hunted almost exclusively, liked the smaller objective. The all around shooters, those who liked to use higher magnification more often, liked the 52mm. I would probably err on the side of larger objective, 10mm is not that much bigger and I would rather have and not need, then need and not have. So put me down for 52mm. [/QUOTE]
