Don't think anyone disagrees that the quality of the glass and coatings are important, my only issue with his statement is that a larger objective increases fov, because it simply is not true.I've never seen him quit so quicly. We were all right, just looking at it from different angles.

They offer it in 40 and 50mm which is what made me bring this up.
It's a savage axis .308To me it would depend on the rifle. I never liked 50's on my marlin levers, but I did like 50's on my remington bolts and pumps.

I'm not too concerned with that to be honest. That rifle is known for having problems with the bolt handle clearing the scope so I have to use a relatively high scope mount anyway.You may also want to check the mount height, the 50 will likely sit higher causing a possible issue with cheek weld
I'm leaning that wayI'd slap the 50 on it. If you put the 40, you will wonder in dim light. With the 50 you wont wonder. It will be what it is.
