Rifle Scopes : New Rifle Scope

I have the Leupold VX-6 2-12x42 with fire dot duplex and it has the best reticle for woods hunting and low light I've ever used. The low light performance is as good as my Leica ER 2.5-10x42. The Leica having just a tad more contrast but the reticle is nowhere near as good in low light.

My personal choice for extreme low light hunting, price no object, would be the Zeiss Victory HT 1.5-6x42 #60 (illuminated) reticle. I have an aversion to scopes with larger objectives than 42mm. Believe me, 6x is plenty for shooting deer out to at least 300 yards.
