[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1482421, member: 52437"] I am NOT an expert but I think it will depend on some things. Is weight a concern? All other things being equal, 50mm is typically heavier. Do you have an adjustable cheek rest? 50mm scopes typically need a higher comb height than non-adjustable run of the mill stock can provide. If neither of those things are an issue, again, all other things being equal, 50mm scope will typically have better low light capabilities than 40mm. I would rather have a higher end 40mm than a lower end 50mm scope with regards to clarity and low light conditions because the glass in the higher end 40mm is likely that much better. [/QUOTE]
