[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1437891, member: 101677"] In rich’s Defense I’ve also observed with doing late night tests in the dark that I could read my target better if I turned up the magnification but to me it seemed darker, but the extra magnification helped discern it in the dark. Then the play the devils advocate, Last spring me and a buddy’s and my wife were hunting beavers, it got dark enough that he could not see a beaver with his 6-24 sightron s3, my wife could not see it with her 4-14 Burris, but I could see it with my 30year old vari x 2, 3-9 scope and I had to use the lowest magnification. I think the difference is quality scopes are so good at picking up light that more magnification seems better until it gets utterly dark enough that there simply isn’t enough light for any magnification....that makes sense in my head but not after I wrote it. Lol oh well [/QUOTE]
