Depends on the magnification. Also depends on the lens coatings and what spectrum of light they are designed to transmit.

Rule of thumb....... the more power, the larger the obj lens should be. This ensures the the exit pupil is sufficient to totally saturate the pupil of your eye when dilated thus giving you perception of a brighter image (not to be confused with light transmission).

40 or 42 mm is fine. Really no need to go to the larger/heavier/more expensive/mounted higher above the gun 50 mm scope for deer hunting.
