[QUOTE="TikkaShooters, post: 548079, member: 25066"] The low light transmission at all levels of magnification is very impressive. I was a die hard Leupold guy and sold my VX-3s to replace them with Vipers. I can't recall the exact light transmission number but I believe it is around 94-96%. When I am walking, I keep the scope at 6 power so I can make a quick shot if needs be. When I can take my time, I almost always use 20X. The BDC Reticle is accurate and you can download a custom drop chart from Vortex when you enter your ballistics into their G7 calculator. Most of my big game hunting is whitetail and elk. For smaller game, I use a .223 that has a PST on top of it. My longest kill with the Viper 6.5-20 was a muley buck at 721 yards. My primary big game gun is a Tikka T3 in .270WSM. The scope is mounted with an EGW 20 moa rail and Vortex low tactical rings. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. [/QUOTE]
