Larger objectives allow in more light, thus allowing for a better view.. basicly. I have one 8-32X50mm scope on a rifle with a AO( adjustible objective for the range.. yardage difference per target.. and I love it) But its overkill on a .22 by FAR.. as the scope is rated... now I may be wrong... but pretty sure that if I remember right, its rated at around 1k yards.
