I am assuming you are big game hunting and not little critter hunting?
Those guys buying the 6x18x50mm+ scopes are losing a lot of hunting time because a 6x scope cannot transmit as much light as a 2.5 power scope no matter how large the bell. I have actually compared a 1.75-6x32 to a 6x18x50mm Both Being Leupold VXIII of the same Vintage side by side and the 1.75 beat it hands down in low light conditions.
