[QUOTE="1894C, post: 2049594, member: 114886"] I perfer to mount my optics as low as possible. I have more vx5 and Vx6 thank anything in my safe and all of them have a 44 or 42mm objective. They do excellent in low light especially if you roll with a fire dot. The more lr oriented rigs have a t moa and while it’s a “better” reticle for long range use it is definitely inferior in low light. The brightness of the entire reticle takes away from the target. A fire dot on its lowest setting still allows you to see the target as well as the dot even in conditions that REALLY DARK. last year I shot a nice6.5 year old 8 point about 30 minutes before day light. Climbed my stand and the only reason I could tell which deer he was is he walked directly below the stand I climbed and I could see how wide he was. He was chasing a doe below me and when I shot I could not tell if he was facing to or away from me. When my rifle went off it was like a Roman candle went off on 4th of July. The only reason I was able to make this shot was the fire dot. Any other reticle I would not have been able to see my crosshairs and the deer. [/QUOTE]
