[QUOTE="sitkastw, post: 2205381, member: 117348"] I own Swarovski, kahles, nightforce, zeiss, meopta and a few older vxII leupold scopes. For low light there is a difference in light transmission from a 50mm objective to a 56mm objective in the same brand/power/model scopes ive been around. I would highly recommend European glass and going with a 50+mm (I have moved to 56mm on all my hunting rifles) objective if light transmission and clearity are top priority. At that you will also get a scope that dials exact every time. Ffp vs sfp - I would hesitate at buying ffp especially non illuminated for hunting under 400 yards. When you zoom out in low light the crosshairs can become almost invisible (they get very small in my ffp 25x scopes). I prefer all my sfp scopes over ffp for hunting. If your state allows illumination I would highly recommend it. Personally I have a swarovski x5i 5-25x56 on my hunting rifles for the exact reason you are asking about, low light dawn/dusk. [/QUOTE]
