Well, I think I'm about to upgrade to a Leupold or Nikon scope on my main hunting rifle--a Remington 700 in .308. Right now, I have a 3-9X40 Tasco World Class on the rifle. I haven't been entirely disatisfied with it; I even took an 8-point on Saturday with the rifle.
However, I would like better clarity, truer adjustments, and a more consistent zero. I figure Leupold or Nikon will do the trick.
My hunting buddy and his father both use 3-9X50 scopes and claim that they let in considerably more light for hunting around dusk. My question is: Does 10 mm on the objective lense make that big of a difference? Price wise, you can get a 3-9X40 much more reasonably.
Opinions?
