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

I can't afford alpha optics so getting them with their excellent glass and coatings won't happen for me.

I do have a Bushnell Elite 4200 in 2.5-10x50 that I use on my 270 WSM. I use this where the shots are often 200 yds plus and often shots are closer to dusk than any other time. It has served me very well.

For my eyes, I find that this scope does stay slightly brighter than other scopes of the same price point with smaller objective diameters.
