[QUOTE="ToKeepAndBear, post: 628921, member: 34194"] I agree with Bruce and T3-Oleman, the Zeiss scopes are just incredible for lowlight performance, quality of image, and ease of sight picture. My Zeiss Hensoldt 3-12x56 provides Swarovski binocular like optical performance in a very rugged design with an illumimated mil-dot reticle that is easy to see. The image literally pops into view when you put your head to the stock. I test my scopes at night by looking at my neighbors house number across the street. It is in a very dark, non-illuminated area overhanging a brightly lit porch that can provide a significant amount of glare. With most of my scopes, the numbers cannot be read. The Hensoldt scope accomplishes this easily and the reticle can be illuminated slightly for easy visualization without blowing the view of the numbers. Viewing shrubs and vegetation, most scopes show dark blobs, the Zeiss provides enough detail/contrast to create dimension. No it is not night vision, but you would be surprised at the level of detail that can be made out in very dark conditions. Bruce, what is it about the larger objective that magnifies blur in field (mirage) conditions. [/QUOTE]
