[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 209093, member: 2736"] Jwp 475 is right about the ratings of some magazines. Most are based on personal preference not facts. (The same way we form our opinions). There is a standard method of testing light transmission and some scope makers use and advertise these numbers.(SOME DONT). Different lens coatings can make you think one is brighter than another because everyones eyes are a little different and respond different to different coatings. There are people on this web sight that can explain it better than me ( and I wish they would). Every scope has plus's and minus's and the best scope for you is the one with the features that you like.Type of knobs, size of main tube,Size of objective lens, type of retical,power, finish, ETC. Withen one makers scopes there are numbers/% light transmission that vary from 94% to 99.6% depending on the cost and use intended. Leupolds LPS (Now Discontinued) that advertised 99.4% was on the high end of light transmission at the time and nikon was advertising 94% and it was hard to tell the difference untill right at dark. I have not seen the numbers on the Night force but I would bet they are high. So dont believe hearsay believe the facts by Apple to Apple compairsons. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
