Hi guys thanks for this great thread, I've really learned something from this.

That said it seems that the best performing scope from the bunch is the 2.5-16x42 6500. I am going to purchase a 6500 but was wondering whther to go with the 2.5-16x42 or the 2.5-16x50.

Any recommendations for the x50? I am currently using the Bushnell Legend 5-15x42 and love it. I was wondering whether the upgrade to a 50mm objective lens would be worth it for dusk/dawn capabilities.

thanks
