Depends on the rifle. Heavy, square rifle, then 50 mm. Light, trim rifle, then 44 mm. The 50 mm is better optically, the 44 mm is better ergonomically.

I like 40-44mm scopes.

Smallest and lowest you can mount and get away with.

Glass and coating quality is far more important than the size of the lens.

I agree with you. Do you not like the Vortex?
What would you recommend up to $700

He is a serious Vortex fan and supporter. And I tend to agree.

What's the job of this rifle and scope?

I like first focal plane, but this would be a good one anyway, and it's in your budget.

Another option, staying within budget.
