I like a big uncluttered picture myself for hunting. Now for target punching, I like Mil-dots. The tube/objective lens size doesn't matter so much.

I personally don't need the adjustment of a 30mm tube nor do I need the burden of a 50mm plus bell housing with todays coated lens.
1" tub and 40-42mm here, to each there own

Have no scopes with objective > 44mm and do not see the need for them since I can and have shot coyotes and hogs on full moon or near it at night with some of these.
4 most often used rifles wear
2.5X15-44 Swaro Z6 3X9-40 Kahles 2X7-32 Kahles 2X7-32 Nikon Monarch

Bushy ELITE 4200 3-9x40 1" tube Plex reticle. Those Elite scopes are a really good bargain and just now seem to be getting more popular.

Well at least it seems to me they are better than plain 4200 but not sure if they are up to 6500 series glass.
