[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 1997301, member: 94154"] I didn't see an answer to this yet. Typically, the next step up in objective is 50mm or bigger, and commonly it means heavier scope and higher rings. Heavy is relative, but if your scope is 30oz and you swing up to an offhand position, you'll really notice that extra 16oz if you have to hold for longer than a minute (unless you've been practicing your hold). Also, you *seriously* notice it if you're hiking over rugged terrain from dawn to dusk. The higher rings mean you need a higher comb on your rifle to get a natural fit. For long range shots, IMO, a solid cheek weld is an absolute must. I also haven't found a good stock pad for correcting the comb "deficiency." I'm sure you know this, but how a rifle fits you is the most important thing. [/QUOTE]
