[QUOTE="300rum, post: 293929, member: 6231"] Hi Mike, I use Nightforce NSX 8.5-32x56 NP-R1 reticle for my 338EDGE rifle. I love to use holdover instead of clicks for shooting game animals and rocks at up to 1200 yrds. I got lots of scopes, Sightron, IOR, Nightforce, Leupold, and from my experience I noticed on all this scopes, at maximum power the transmission of light is slightly lower, and the image is darker 10%. Because I hunt specially in the morning and in the evening, I need a scope with better glasses. I love the Nightforce 5.5-24x56 NP-R1, but because of low light transmission at maximum power(5-10% lower) I choose 8.5-32x56NP-R1 and USING THE 22X power for all my shooting at long distances. Please do not get me wrong, and I do not want to start another topic with light transmission, But FOR MY EYES, AND MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE this is how it works. Best way is get how much info can collect from a lot of people, and then go personally to a store at evening time as close to the dark (5-15min) and try different scopes, at minimum and maximum power outside. Then pick the brightest scope what you can afford. This is the right way to pick a scope for your anatomic eyes structure. [/QUOTE]
