I'm about to buy one of two Savage .22 bolt action rifles. Neither one has sights, so I'll need to get a scope.
I'm going to get some cheap glass for now, and upgrade later down the road. The rifle will be a plinker and play toy, not a competition rifle.
I know that the difference between a 3x9x40 and a 3x9x50 is the size of the objective lens.
My question is, what is the practical difference? For plinking, does it make a difference?
BTW, Here are the two rifles.

The thumb hole stock on the first one fits my hand like a glove.
The second is just like the second pic, but has a fluted barrel and is OD Green (scope not included)
Both have the accutrigger and 21" 1in16 twist bull barrels
