[QUOTE="LB, post: 79143, member: 2721"] When I was twenty, I had the eyes of an eagle. Literally, 10/10. I could see very well from marginal scopes, like Weaver and Redfield and Bushnell. If you have never looked through a quality scope, a 3X12X56mm German, (for instance) under very poor light conditions, you really don't know what is going on. These scopes were developed for hunting wild boar on dark nights, from towers. Consider what the performance might be under "low light" conditions. Things change. The aging process includes your vision, and suddenly, you begin to appreciate the difference between what's out there; and what is available, if money were no object. At some point, those (clear as spring water) Weavers don't cut it any more. This is not a slam, by any means, but the youngsters have not arrived, yet. I don't know how else to put it? Good hunting.
