Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Why do you dislike (or like) a 50mm objective?

They are also using peeps sights so that the sight picture is a circle within a circle that the eye naturally aligns. How do handgun shooters with scopes ever hit anything without a proper cheek weld?

Just how big of a bowl of dumbass do you eat every day?

OOOOOOOOOOHHH! BURN! I'm So offended! LMMFAO Go back to Jaggin' off in your socks.

I won't even get into the many reasons why you are wrong and your "reasoning" not worth a $hit, as you are obviously clueless and not worth the effort.

I guess I can get rid of all those adjustable cheek pieces I use, as my scopes already have A/Os and I now know they aren't needed.

What a dumbass..........

Yes, you totally are. Thanks for making my point crystal clear 2muchdumb.

Yeah, there's no sense arguing with a dumbazz, he'll try and bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

I'm putting that particular dumbazz on ignore...

The only thing you have managed to make clear is that you are a moron. Crystal clear.......

Ain't the innanet wonderful? You can learn all kinds of interesting "facts"

Wow........

I'm not totally surprised that people who buy all their scopes packaged in plastic, and can't focus the eyepiece or adjust for parallax, have such strong opinions on what everyone else should be using.

I'm bored with both of you idiots now. Have fun patting each other on the back, ( of your heads).

Every rifle in the hunting field is not a NULA. As I have gotten older I like the 50mm objectives, when I was younger I did not like them. The quality of the scope is paramount in my experience, more so than the objective size.

Wow, I never knew anyone had me on ignore...I'm impressed.

That's a real milestone.

I'm going to go to the range and burn some powder in your honor..:-)

Not you Rembo. 2muchdumb

sorry FC,

carry on then...:-)

I'm still going to the range.....

I'll take that bet. I don't own anything bigger than 40mm and I always check that I can at least slip a business card between the bell and the barrel, although I have compromised a few times and used a dollar bill instead. As low as you can get it without actually touching.

Rule of thumb: Divide the objective size by the max magnification. This is called the exit pupil. If it's more than 7, the extra cost, weight and size of the objective bell is going to waste because that's pretty much the max your eye will let in anyway.

I might go bigger if for some reason I were hunting prarie dogs at dusk, but for big game there is just no point to it.

Always interesting to read various opinions for sure. I stumbled into "stealing" a VX3 LR/SF 4.5-14x50 a couple of years ago, my first 50mm. Instead of the stereoptypical "able to mount 40's lower, proper cheek weld",etc answers, doesn't stock design, high comb, etc have a little bit to do with properly mounting a effectively using a 50mm scope? FWIW my fave right now is a 42mm.

BTW FC...you're calling a lot of experienced folks dumbazzzes.....just sayin'

I've never owned a scope with a 50 mm objective. So I neither like nor dislike them. I especially don't care if others like or dislike them.

I can't help people who don't understand how an AO eliminates Parallax and cancels out the need for a perfect cheek weld.

I was talking about doofusses that live and hunt here where I live, not you or where you live. Had you read my previous post, you would know that I don't care what setup anyone else runs. The doofusses around here put 50mm scopes on their low-rent guns to make an impression on other doofusses. Then they haul them into a swamp where you can't see past 50 yards and shoot at every deer they see. Then it runs on 3 legs to some other doofus who shoots out another leg or guts. Then the doofusses don't bother tracking the deer and it dies in some low spot and stinks up the woods until December.

There are just too many such doofusses in the woods around here. I wish resident hunting licences cost $300. It would thin out some of the doofusses.

Parallax aside, a good cheek weld is helpful to me for consistent rifle handling.
