Rifle Scopes ST-10- 37 or 44mm objective?

Re: ST-10- 37 or 44mm objective?

37mm will mount lower of course, assuming the eye piece is not the limiting factor (interfere with bolt).

However, at 10x, the 37mm will have a 3.7mm exit pupil vs. 4.4 of the 44mm. 3.7 isn't bad, but it's nice to keep it at 4 or more in my opinion. Then again, with that quality of glass in the USO I wouldn't worry about it.

I'd probably go 37mm as I can't stand high mounted scopes. I like keeping them as low as possible.

You won't have any exit pupil problems with the 37mm objective at 10x, unless you shoot in very low light.

Its depend on what kind of base you use, look at this pic, who says 44mm is that bad?

For my SPR I went 37mm. Its VERY clear, at least as clear as my 44mm SN3. I'm glad I went 37mm because later I mounted a Jpoint at 1:00 on the forearm (JP/Vtac) and if I had a bigger objective it would block it.
