Rifle Scopes 50 or 56 that is the queston

Re: 50 or 56 that is the queston

I went with the 50, as I've heard from those that have looked through both that it isn't any brighter. I didn't want the additional height..

Unless your rile is in a AICS stock, in whih case you need the extra height of the 56 to get a proper cheek weld.

I have both. It is very difficult to tell any difference in 99% of use.

The one place I can see a difference is in shaded dawn or dusk use. I have a location that I use to hunt bobcats and coyotes that is in wooded cover. If I crank the zoom up, say past 10x, I can tell the difference. It isn't a lot but it is there. I can still make the shot with either.

I have two different sizes because I was in your shoes at one time. They had a 50 and not a 56 and I am impatient and I bought it. I have no regrets.
