The 1" dimension refers to the centerline of the scope tube, and the 30mm (1.181") tube is .181" larger diameter than a 1" so the ring base would have to be approximately .0905" shorter to accommodate a larger tube and still maintain the 1" dimension to centerline. As for the 50mm objective, it should also be larger where it joins the 30mm tube, but I would think it would still taper to pretty close to the same size where the lense is mounted if it is the same brand. If its a different brand, then all bets are off as it was designed by different engineering team with different design philosophies, tooling constraints, mating part considerations, etc. It could be vastly different even though the glass is the same size.

Awesome bucks like always. Congrats to you guys! When is the anticipated release date for your coues deer hunting book, I would like to preorder a copy.

Prime example of why so many states require a hunter ed. Card. I feel bad for her. Obviously made a very dumb mistake, but its also obvious shes taken an interest In A great sport, but doesnt really have anyone to show her the ropes.

Wow what a monster. Congrats to him.

Incedible muley! Congrats!

I've got a couple pairs of Nikon Monarchs that are a few years old now. As stated, no complaints. Good product at a fair price.

Stud buck! Congrats.

About 10 years ago I was about to leave for my first ever elk hunt when my live-in GF called to say good bye on her way from Cottonwood up to Flag. She's babbling away about her work day or something and stops in the middle and goes, "Ohh, my god! what's this guy doing?! Ohh my God!!..... " Static noises, weird sounds on the phone and the call disconnects. I must've called her back about 20 times before finally a stranger answered her phone and asks if it's Matt? And then tells me she'd just rolled her car into the ditch and they were loading her in the ambulance. Friggin big rig started swerving around in it's lane and than came over right on top of her as she was passing. she wen't off onto the shoulder to avoid making contact, lost control and ended up in the ditch. Trucker never stopped and was never tracked down. She got banged up a bit but ended up being fine. My elk hunt never recovered though...

Fantastic buck! Congrats!

If that aint country....

How olds your daughter? I used to love those weekend soccer games when my girls were little.

Great buck. He does have some nice mass. Congrats!

Not to mention the fact that the change from 65-75mph = about a 10-15% reduction in fuel mileage. At least on my vehicles... But gas is cheap for the moment, so we can all drive like Jeff Gordon!

Can you just imagine how many fights would break out if people acted the way they do on the road all the time, like say in the grocery store for example? Someone sees you're about to get in the check out line, so they run past you to get in front of you? Everyone pulls a bonehead move in their car once in a while, but I honestly dont get why so many seemingly nice people turn into complete aholes the minute their car starts. Theres no way theyd have the stones to act that way in person.

Awesome buck. Congrats to you guys!

Stud muley. Congrats!

Heck yeah, brother. No tunes for me tonight, I've had my head buried in a nasty job on my lathe for the last 3 days and am trying to stay focused (with the occasional cwt break). But all the bills are paid, the babies are sound asleep upstairs, and the love of my life is up there waiting for me to finish. It is a great night to be alive and free in the greatest nation this world will ever see. Count your blessings gentlemen.

Happy birthday!

Awesome ram! Congrats!
