Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics When does 50 mm + objective become useful?

You might want to take a look at the first plane reticle 30mm European scopes because the crosshair covers the same amount on the target as you increase the power on a variable and at the upper power settings those reticles really stand out. I've got nothing larger than a 42mm objective because I like lower mounted scopes for a better cheek weld. Those Europeans get to hunt way later into the evening than we do, so a higher end Euro scope with the first plane reticle and better lens coatings would serve you well in low light hunting here.
