You have to listen too what everyone is telling you !! I totally agree. the 50mm is to big for what your doing and heavy mayI add. Go with the 40mm and look at the nikon monarch for 218.00. I bought 1 in early jan. and it is great. The best money i have spent... And i was looking in the 500, 600 dollar range for a scope. I'm glad I got this and the savings was just a steal.
