Lone Star is correct.
A very thumbnail generalization is that you'll get optimal light gathering if the front (objective) lens on a scope is 5x the power (magnification). The 20MM objective lens on the Weaver V3 gathers all the light the scope can utilize- a larger objective would add weight and bulk and give no advantage.
BTW, the Weaver V3 is a sweet little brush gun scope, and would look very nice on a Ruger RSI. Several fellows I hunt deer with (and myself) have been using the Weaver V3 for years- they hold up very well, and get the job done.
