Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Why has everyone gone ape over larger, i.e. 50mm, objective lens on scopes?

257Bob, you know, it's kind of interesting though, it isn't unusual for guys to show up for expensive hunts, all decked with fancy bells and whistles, to be less well prepared overall than guys who come with soft, worn, perhaps faded camo clothing, and their old beat-up, out-of-date rifles. I'm always surprised at how poorly some people who can afford nice things actually use them. Of course, there is no direct correlation there, but obviously, as with happiness, money and great equipment are no replacement for time spent honing skills - even if the equipment is less than top shelf.
