Sakoluvr,
I did not read through all the pages of this thread so this may have already been said but to me, even more than the bulk of a 50mm objective bell on a scope, it's the added weight that drives me crazy. Every large scoped rifle that i've ever handled felt like a top-heavy chunk of plywood when brought to the shoulder.
Big scopes just simply ruin the balance(handling characteristics) of a nice rifle. Even a heavy rifle(if balanced properly)will feel good coming to the shoulder for a shot. Add a large, heavy, bulky scope to that rifle and the balance is ruined.
My riflescopes have objective bells from 33mm to 42mm(max) and weight from 10 to 13oz. Nothing in this range is going to detract from a fine rifle(aesthetically or functionally).
