Why is NZ so behind Europe etc
40 mm is gone/over unless on a .22
All of Europe are now 56mm

Kiwi's are slow - not only to fly but to move forward
40mm ????
So yesterday mate

My understanding is that hunting in Europe is a bit different than bush bashing in NZ. A 56mm objective is great for sitting in a tree stand at last light but it does mean more weight and a higher mounted scope. Not what every one wants.
