[QUOTE="swpc629, post: 1045175, member: 21802"] This may be a really dumb question, but here goes. I have a set of Nikon Prostaff 5 binoculars and a Vortex 6.5-24x50 PA scope. Late in the afternoon when it becomes dusky dark I can still see fairly well through the binoculars but can hardly make anything out with the scope. Is this due to Nikon having better light transmission than Vortex or is the fact that binoculars get better light transmission than a rifle scope? Or do I just need to move up to a higher end scope?
