[QUOTE="sbark, post: 17001, member: 1645"] I agree that the exit pupil is what you need to look at when buying a scope for low-light situations. My coyote rifle has a Leupold Vari-XIII 3.5-10x50mm scope sitting on it. I bought the model with a heavy duplex just for low-light situations. To me, it is the perfect low-light coyote or deer scope. Very clear and when it's cranked down to 3.5X, I can see the reticle up until the time it is pitch dark outside. The Leupold will set you back around $500, though. I lucked out and found a used one with exactly what I was looking for. Get something that's fully multi-coated and has a lower power. I also have a Sightron SII 3-12x50MM, and I like it too. It's not exactly on par with the Leupold, but it's a good low-light scope for around $300. If nothing else, just get a good quality 3-9 power scope. I promise you won't use the higher power settings when you're hunting - just not needed. [/QUOTE]
