i am on the look out for a scope for my F.N. sporter chambered in 35whelen.

i have come down to ..

1.75-6X32MM OR 1.5-5x20MM

it seems the only differance is that the 1.75-6X32mm has a bigger bell housing for the obj lens. and the 20mm is a smaller compact tube.
is there any pro's con's of having the smaller bell housing over the bigger 32mm?
it will be used for stillhunting/stalking in the swamp and thick stuff.


your ideas from people who own either these scopes or scopes with a smaller OBJ lens would be appreciated.

Quilly...I've always liked the larger objective. I guess it is personal choice.

I will say one thing...when you get done with this, you are going to have one sweet knock-down machine!

I always like the larger obj it usually has a wider field of view and and better ligth gathering.

I'd recommend finding a 40mm objective. But defiantely avoid those 20mm jobs. They just don't allow enough light to enter the scope.

I'd opt for th larger Objective lens.

This is one place where "bigger is better".
