I just picked up a Tikka t3x veil in 7MM for an Elk hunt in Idaho this year. I have exclusively hunted whitetails in the eastern hardwoods with a hand me down leupold vari-x iii on a xbolt in 6.5cm. I almost bought the LHD 4-14 x56 but im worried that size objective lens will effect my ability to get a good cheekweld. Whats some general thoughts on this situation?
 
I have both the 50mm and 56mm SHV’s and use medium UM rings for both. The 56mm isn’t currently mounted but no difference for me since I can use the same ring height.
 
The only issues with the nxs 3-15 are that unless you get very lucky they tend to be second focal plane and moa.

But if you can live with that, it'll be great
