Another reason for 50mm is field of vision. It should be wider in a 50mm than a 42mm. So its faster to bring things to target usually, really helps if you are for example hunting woods and not open fields.

I think you will be happier with the better glass at a great deal than missing the 50mm though.

Larger objective diameter will NOT increase field of view. This is a common misunderstanding about rifle scopes. It does, however, help bring in more light over the same scope with smaller objective.

To the OP: get the Razor HD for $550. It will outperform the VXIII you were considering in all things, and that VXIII is a very good rifle.
