[QUOTE="Todd Gansel, post: 2205532, member: 107021"] I read an article several years ago that really opened the blinds so to speak on optics. Most of your gun store folks have no clue about optics and that translates all the falsehoods to the customer. After reading the article I actually tried what they were writing about and even agree with them. But two of the best scopes on the market were the Leupold VX6 3-18x44 being the best optically aligned scope, 2nd choice is the Vortex 2.5-10x32 PST. The Vortex actually does not Pixelate in low light, for me the Vortex was a more affordable scope and I run 4 of them now. So a few things to mention about scopes; Scopes do not gather light, having a objective larger than 50mm with less than 20 as a high power is useless. Scopes are do two things when light enters, breaks up into primary colors and bends light. Scopes are actually rated based on the speed of the scope. And the exit pupil is very important, the latter the exit pupil the easier it is to look through the scope, and the more light available to your eye. The article I am referring to was in Sniper Magazine years ago and was called "0pening Pandora's Box" I believe. [/QUOTE]
