Anybody using one of these?  I have a Monarch 3.5-10Xx50 on my Encore 300 WM and I was thinking of adding a 3-12X42 to my Encore 270.  Is hte 50MM scope better than the 42MM when it comes to deer hunting?

The 50mm objective will let in more light than the 42mm objective. The new Monarch has a bigger eye box providing more eye relief and a better field of view also. It is a good scope for hunting.

Is this considered a new Monarch?  I have the chance to buy a preowned, never used one for $230.
