RE: SCOPE OBJECTIVE 40mm vs. 50mm ? ?
But with all of that said, in low light situations, a 50mm will allow you to see a hair better than a 40 mm when comparing two like scopes. Yes, EURO glass is better than Japaneese glass for all intents and purposes .... across the board..... but if you are comparing a Nikon and a Simmons, that is not a fair comparison. If you are comparing a Zeiss and a Tasco ..... thats not fair .... but comparing to alike scopes of same manufaturer, model , andstyle, but one with a 40 and one with a 50 .... the 50 will see better. NOT A LOT BETTER .... BUT JUST A HAIR BETTER......

Is there a big differance between a 40 or 42 and a 50mm objective for light?
or does the 50mm had the advantage at longer ranges. Could not tell in a store, cannot get any distance indoors.
I guess I would like to know if it would be worth it, to put a 50mm on my 22.250?
Probably going to go with 6 x 18 or 6.5 x 20 power.
Thanks for any input!
