[QUOTE="Buckys, post: 2205614, member: 107750"] I was going to reply to OP ... get a bigger objective lens and best maximum magnification. Personal experience, not science, for me has been big objective lens + 3-18/4-24/5-30/etc. and 30mm tubes are better than 1" tubes when it comes to low light performance. For my old eyes, light transmission and clarity are paramount in low-light conditions. I personally don't see the point in spending VX6HD or higher money for a 500 yard max range whitetail setup. For your concerns for that application, the best I have owned are $750 or less : VX5HD 3-15x44, VX6 3-18x44, Bushnell elite 4200 4-16x50 and a Trijicon AccuPower 4-16x50. I wasn't very happy with a Zeiss Conquest DL 3-12x500 or 4-16x44 Vortex HS and sold them both. My 4.5-14x50 VX-3 is ok but not as good as my others. [/QUOTE]
