I want to start long range shooting (200-800 yards) and have questions about which scope I should buy from those who are involved in it.
I have narrowed my choice to either the Leupold Vari-X III 4.5-14x40mm or the Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x40mm,Long Range M1.

Questions:
1. Does the 30mm main tube on the M1 version leave more light in then the 1 inch tube and if so does this make for a better view?
2. Does the 30mm tube have more strength then the 1 inch tube?
3.Which one would you choose and why?
