It is the width of the front (objective) lens in millimeters. A 50 mm objective is just that- 50mm, or just under 2 inches, across.

What to look for in a rifle scope?

It's all about the optics. When you are looking for a scope you need to look at what you are using it for. The magnification and objective lens size will be the main things to look at. For example you would not want a standard 4 X scope if you plan on hunting varmints or shooting 700 yards at a target. You would want to go with a higher power and a larger objective lens. There are many things to understand when looking for a scope and this is just one thing.
