[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1326843, member: 70559"] That light testing is quite interesting. I will try to do that sometime. In the woods 131 yards from my porch are some deer antlers with three points on each side. I use these for low light testing. I laid out a Swarovski z5 5-25X52, Leupold VX-6 4-24X52, and a Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50. After the sun set I started looking at the antlers through each scope. Back and forth, back and forth. When I could still see the main beam of the antlers, but could not resolve the big tine I called time. All three went down at the same time. I have done this with lots of brands and these three are tops in hunting weight scopes. Nightforce scopes always beat these. Maybe it's because of the 56mm objective, but I don't think so. I bought a Minox 5-25X56 thinking it would smoke the others. It wasn't even close in low light or bright light. [/QUOTE]
