[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 157824, member: 319"] [b]Re: IOR SCOPES - light transmission ~ light gathering[/b] I should have added on that subject: I ended up using the 2.5-10X42 IOR last season and did use it quite a bit in low light. It did fine to beyond legal shooting light. While it's not as bright as the 50mm, it was certainly bright enough. That's what I was basing my expectations of the 3-18 on--I expect the 3-18 will be at least as good, maybe a bit better than the 2.5-10 in low light. About the only thing that seemed lacking on the 2.5-10 as it was getting really dark, was I wouldn't have minded if the center lines of the reticle had been a bit thicker. The illuminated reticle version might have been better here (in Montana where it's legal). The SFP 3-18 with the fine reticle is illuminated and the FFP 3-18 which won't be illuminated will have a thicker, bolder MP-8 so I think you're well covered either way with that one. [/QUOTE]
