[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 365074, member: 20646"] Hi Bozo and RoyInIdaho - Thanks for the replys! Yes, i was looking at the 'new'(?) Weaver Tactical models. I don't know for sure if they've hit the streets or not though....just thinking they were b/c a few sites have 'em listed (and at ever-lowering prices too!!!). They seem to have such a great price for what *seems* to be excellent spec's from a reputable manufacturer. I do believe tube diameter/light transmission can have a relationship, but not necessarily. Whether more light is transmitted (or not) through that fatter tube to the viewing lens depends on quite a bit. Of primary concern to the transmission of light is the quality of the lens elements in the tube, type of glass used (APO for example), their respective coatings, internal non-glass light dampening coatings, front/rear objective size/coatings, the quality of the optical assembly of all those elements and even the types of adhesives used (or not) to 'cement' them all in place. The 30mm tube does usually allow for greater elevation/windage adjustment which is really helpful when needing to reach out long-distance. [/QUOTE]
