80mm would be about the largest "practical".

Yeah, I've never seen an 80mm scope, but I'm sure they exist. If you really want a giant objective, just get extra high rings and see what the manufacturer recommends for scope size.

Keep the scope as close to bore centerline as possible...It is a tradeoff, do you need the extra brightness f a large Obj lens?? I have a 56MM Objective on my M1A, and it is BIG, hee hee

If you still have the stock rings, 40mm is the largest you'll be able to go. I had a MKII All-weather with a Bushnell Trophy 3x9x40mm and I had to cut-out the bottom of my butler creek cover just to get it to mount over the objective lens.

04SilverSCFX4, thanks for the useful info. Is the 40mm maximum the objective size or outside diameter of the bell?
