would go with the 50mm one instead of the 40mm one for low light conditions
That's something to think about. I personally don't have any 50mm scopes, but my dad has a couple as well as some friends and they are all happy with them. Main reason I don't have one is that other features that were important to me weren't available in the 50mm scopes.

not always true, quality of glass matters too. when I was getting a scope for my Rem700 SPS .308 the 50mm (dont remember brand) was no where near as good of a picture in low light as the Nikon Buckmark 40mm I ended up buying.
as far as magnification goes keep in mind that if you get a 8-24x40 scope and a deer walks in your plot at 75 yards or under, its going to be hard to find him in your scope. i went with 4.5-14x40 and its perfect for all ranges a deer hunter would encounter, and a distance shooter too for that matter.
also you want a scope that holds its zero and where a click is 1/4 inch always. precision is key.
