What are the benifits of getting a 3x9x50 scope.
You may get a little more field of view and that’s pretty well it. I have two scope with the 50 mm lens and I don’t really see any benefit over the 40 or 42 mm . The 50 mm will be a little heavier and will have to be mounted higher. I used to think the 50 mm were better but from personal experience found the 40 mm will do just fine for a hunting rifle...
