I would suggest the leupold 4.5 X 14. I'm personally not a fan of the larger objective lens scopes--they have to be mounted higher than I like. In my experience, they don't seem to provide enough advantage to justify the hassle. My experience is that leupolds 42mm glass is more than adequate for shooting during legal hunting hours. I don't know if its true, but I've read that the larger objective lens do not generally provide any notable light gathering advantage. Perhaps some of this forum's resident optics experts can expand on this!
