I would normally go for the one with the larger objective as it makes shooting in low light easier. I'm not sure if you'd notice the difference between 50mm and 56mm though in real world conditions. I wouldn't let the 15x mag sway me either as I only use 8x and sometimes out to a fair old distance.

 

I don't think there's enough difference between the scopes to worry about. Just my opinion of course, but I'd go with the cheaper of the two.

probably the 2x if running boar are your main target.

2.5 - 15 x 56 would be my choice

Are you using that on running boar ?

[kenny243 54]

I only asked because those high mag scopes won’t do you much good on running boar ,sitting in the seat either will do the job ..me personally I use the Swarovski 2.5 x10 x 56 ir ..does the job .
