I already have a Sightron SIII 10-50X60 LRTD.
Great scope for the money!
Was $700 used.

Thanks, I've not heard of these, especially the Hensoldt.

At that size I think thermal would be in order. When does diminishing returns occur? I'd think you'd have to also increase the tube size to accommodate the enlarged "exit pupil" needed to increase light transmission????
