44mm vs 56mm

I’m looking a purchasing a new scope for hunting. Specifically a Leupold Mark 5HD. However, I’d like to know if anyone has taken a good look in a low light (hunting) situation and been able to make out a discernible difference.
As a fellow Alabamian, don't buy a Leupold... I know we grew up hearing how it was the best thing in the woods, but things change.

What is your max budget, and what magnification ranges are you wanting, and I can help you find something better than the Leupy...

I’m not married to a Leupold. Budget is 2kish. Also looking to be 18-25x max. Maybe even 16x
This is your perfect hunting scope, and the glass is absolutely phenomenal. Better than the MK5HD, IMO... I have the 6-36x56 version, and it's an incredible optic. The 4-25x50 is a perfect compromise for weight, length, magnification, glass quality, and features. It's great as a crossover scope, and will work equally well in the woods, as it will be on a range shooting steel. The specs are on the website below, and I think you'll like what you see. The field of view and lowlight performance of the S3 is incredible, too. Contact @Euro.Connor here on the site, and he might can probably get you hooked up with an even better deal.
