I just have a hard time going to a 50mm obj without looking at smaller obj with good glass such as a Sightron S-TAC 3x16x42 30mm tube or a Viper HS 2.5x10x44 30mm tube. Im just not sure how well a 1" tube is going to compare to the 30mm even with the larger obj bell. Larger bell requires mounting the scope higher and i really like mine as low as possible. That Viper is only $250 on sale at MidwayUSA and the Sightron is a little less than im seeing for the 3i in 50mm.
What i really like about the Loopie is its weight and eye relief. The Viper is pretty close in relief but its a few ounces heavier. Something like this i would have to compare side by side first. The Sightron gets high marks for its glass and very good tracking. They make some great scopes and they have really good CS from reviews ive seen. If their 2x10 would have been a 40mm or larger i would have been all over it.
