Thread: Spotlighting Scope Objective

I used to have a very cheap 4x32 sharp hunter that usually comes on rifles from hunting and fishing, and it took the lives of many rabbits and possums spotlighting.
I now have a 4-12x40 Simmons, and apart from being able to zoom, I notice no difference at all.

I would have no qualms what so ever putting a Leupold 4x33 or a 4x28 rimfire scope on a possum gun.
Infact when I find a decent CZ 452 on Trademe I'm going to put one of those scopes on it.

If you asked this question on an American gun forum they would say a 50mm objective at least with a 34mm tube, but it really is not at all necessary.
