[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1906566, member: 92702"] Light transmission becomes much more important as your eyes age. As I have gotten older it seems like I have to have a $3500 scope to see as well late as I could in my younger years with a VX3. Your eyes will tell you what you need to know, and what's "Good Enough" now may not be later in life. The really high end optics are a real joy for any set of eyes. There's not a lot of difference between a $500 and a $1000 scope. There is a huge difference between a $1000 scope and a $3500 one. Resolution and low light performance are much better with the high end stuff. Do you need to be able to see bullet holes @600yds? Most likely not. Do you need to be able to count the points on a buck after legal shooting hours? Again most likely not. As your eyes age you will want everything you can get, and be willing to pay whatever you have to, to do so. [/QUOTE]
