[QUOTE="HntWhtTail, post: 856968, member: 38547"] I prefer the smaller lens every time big objectives require extra high rings/modified cheek pieces etc to get a good fit also if shooting from any position other than prone. good luck shouldering said modified rifle. It depends on the use of the rifle. if shooting off a bench at paper/steel then the sun is most likely out so you wont need added light transmission if you are specifically shooting long range at low light from fixed position then yes bigger would be better. All my current scopes are under 50mm when it gets darker i turn the scope down 40mm/6x is 6.6 exit pupil shots I have taken at this time of day always seem to be under 200 yards anyway. All that said I am looking for a high magnification scope of quality and most seem to come with 50mm or bigger objectives..... [/QUOTE]
