[QUOTE="speeders, post: 628380, member: 4408"] Well this past weekend i bought a 3-12X42 Huskemaw with the intention of mounting it on my 300 win mag that i use for hunting. I went with the 3-12 due to the amount of bush hunting i do here in Alberta. 5 power on the low end is a little high Currently i have a 3-12-52 Kahles multi zero. I brought the huskemaw home and compared the 2. First thing i found, was at low light i totally could not see the crosshairs against any spruce or pine. This was approx with 45 minutes of legal shooting light left. I then continued looking at a large of heard of deer and elk in our hay field. Wow was i shocked with the clarity difference. The Kahles was far superior. I was given that Kahles a few years ago from a hunter we had come up. I new it was clear but never really have compared it. Needless to say i returned the Huskemaw the next day. For hunting in alberta in, the crosshair is way too thin for any animals along the tree line in low light. I had the 2 scopes set on 5 power and found the magnification to look quite different. The Kahles looked like it was zoomed in substatially more??? Maybe it was me. I am possibly gonna take a look at the 5-20 and compare it. I know it has a thicker crosshair. Hopefully it is a little brighter at low light. Has anyone compared the 3-12 against the 5-20? [/QUOTE]
