[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1836203, member: 75779"] I'm a in the 42mm camp. The smaller objective is often better for cheek position on the stock. Scabbards often fit poorly on big objectives (if horses factor into your hunts). I've also read that the human eye can't really use the additional light generated by an objective larger than 42-44mm. This might explain why we see so many scopes in this objective size. There certainly is a benefit to a larger objective-- whether or not that benefit applies to hunting is up to you. A couple ounces of difference between the 2 isn't huge, but you wouldn't add a couple ounces to your pack just for the hell of it. My bet is that you'll end up with the 42. [/QUOTE]
