Robster80,
just double checking on my choice, the meoptas scopes always get mentioned when the question of lowlight comes up but not so much the leupolds ( the VX6 could be alright).
If I knew when the meopta R2 4-12x50 (with the new lens coatings)was coming out ,I save a little more and get that. I think it would be perfect for me.
I ran a little low light test when the meopta 3.5-10x44 turned up. To my eyes a 40 year old kahles heila x6 I have still had a brighter picture and easier to see reticle. I set the meopta on x6 it was as clear as the kahles but the picture seems to be a little darker, had a blueish hue to it .Where as the kahles tends more yellowish green which was easier for me to see.I thought 40 years on, the new lens coatings would of made a bigger difference.
Pretty shaw I'll stick with my choice meopta 3.5-10x44 4C.
