30 mm tubes on the Victory HT's are not bad with a 50mm objective, at least the one I tried was not bad... However as I hunt GA I opted for a 1.5-6 x 40ish and found that was all I wanted. One of these a year is about all I can tolerate... whistle

The thing with the 50 for me is that the Emericus "eyebox" seems bigger to me. So even a 50 on a 25 mm tube seems to be easier to catch a glimpse thru, but perhaps I am wrong as I usually am. My next scope might be the unholy Meopro 25 mm tube with 50 mm objective and the Z plex.
