What are the advantages of having large objective scopes with 30 mm tubes on an air rifle? I'm looking at Hawke Sidewinder scopes and they offer some with 56 mm objectives! My brother in law has a 50 mm Bushnell Elite on his Remington 700 and that thing seems huge. Largest scope objective scope I own is a 44 mm and I'm quite happy with the performance of it.
What are advantages of having a high magnification? For example, 32x
From what I know, which isn't much, 30mm scope tubes have more adjustment (clicks) for longer range shooting and maybe enables more light into the scope for brighter picture? So what would be advantage of having so much adjustment on an air rifle? Most of my shots are under 60 yards (rifle zeroed 30 yards) and If I do need to make poa/poi adjustments I just hold over using the mil dots on my reticle and not make adjustments to my elevation knob.
Anyways, whats everyones thoughts on this?
