Objective size only matters in low light and there isn't a lot of difference in 42mm vs 50mm. In low light you will just have to turn the magnification down 2x to get the same exit pupil. Whether that matters or not is situational but has little to do with the optical quality of the scope.
As for the rifle I would sell it. I don't like .243. Trailed too many deer shot with one. Bad shot agle or something?... maybe. Maybe likely. If we could all shoot every deer at 20 yards broadside there would likely never be an issue. It just don't have the horsepower. It's a 4 cylinder. No turbo. Good gas mileage. Not much of a family car.
Best caliber for a varmint rifle made IMO though. I think I'll keep the rifle. Probably get some 95 grain federal fusions and those 85 grain Barne's and see how they group. If a deer that's shot with a bonded or solid copper bullet runs, then it's not the fault of the round..
