[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1450790, member: 12995"] Owned quite a few 56mm scopes over the years, and still have a couple 50+mm objectives in the safe. A good quality 50mm scope with a 30mm (or larger) tube will transmit more than enough light for hunting and shooting. 56mm will transmit slightly more. But, with extremely high-quality glass (like Kahles, Swarovski, Zeiss, etc...), most 1" tubes with 50mm objectives will transmit as much light as a mid-range priced scope with a 30mm tube & 56mm objective. My Kahles Helia KX 3.5-10x50 4D-Dot (1" tube), and Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 (1" tube) will keep up with most $1,000 50mm scopes with 30mm tubes. And my Zeiss Conquest 3-12x50 FFP (30mm tube) is insanely bright and clear. Phenomenal hunting scope, just pretty heavy and doesn't have target turrets. Thinking about sending it off t Kenton Industries to have the reticle changed and have target turrets retrofitted to it. Then it will be a hell of a scope. Or I might just sell it, and get one of the new Conquest V4 or V6 scopes. [/QUOTE]
