Is the extra 6mm worth it? Does it even make a notable difference? looking at 4.5x14 magnifications.

I'd opt for something with more elevation adjustment, but that's just me.....

Re: 44 - 50 objective
I've had both scopes. The 50 was definitely brighter than the 44. I sold the 44 and got another 50. Another thing about the 50mm scope, if you get target turrents, you have 68 MOA of elevation vs. 43 MOA with the 44.

Re: 44 - 50 objective
I think size weight difference is very noticeable and the brightness is barely noticeable. For a hunting rifle, I'd definitely go with the smaller scope. If you have a 15lb prone rifle, then who cares.

Re: 44 - 50 objective
Is it worth 100 bucks more for the 6.5-20x50 mil dot vs the 6.5-20x44 mildot still get 68moa adjustment with the 44

Re: 44 - 50 objective
If you do more shooting in early morning and in the evening where you need that extra light coming in your scope, then the 100 bucks is worth it.

Re: 44 - 50 objective
bjjohnson,
Before losing any sleep over which Zeiss Conquest to buy, the 44mm or the 50mm for low light use, please consider the following:
None of the Conquests your looking at feature a illuminated reticle. So in my experience, in low light without illumination, in most cases you lose the reticle, way before you lose sight of the target your seeking.
The Zeiss #4 and #20 reticles are thick and will provide you an aiming point in low light, longer than the #43 or the Rapid Z's.
So objective diameter is only one part of the equation. You must also consider reticle design and thickness.
Best of luck,
Bob

Re: 44 - 50 objective
Now that I actually <span style="font-style: italic">have</span> two 50mm scopes, I like them. I also like my 40 and 42mm scopes.
Which better? All.
