[QUOTE="longrangehunterII, post: 884776, member: 61185"] James, As daylight fades you'll need to lower almost any high magnification scope down to allow more light to enter your pupil. This is especially true with very high magnification scopes like your NF when used at 22x during low light. Turn it down to 8-10x and I'll bet you'll see better through it? A 34mm tube wont change much of anything at dusk/dawn if the scope is set above 12-16x or more. The larger tubes are designed for more elevation within the turret/reticle housing, so unless you increase the objective lens size above 56mm you're not going to see any better with the scope set at its highest setting unless kept below 12x. But yes having a reticle with adjustable light intensities would also help out with your problem if it's so bright that it floods out your entire view. Try lowering the brightness and turning down the magnification and see if that helps you see better in low light conditions. [/QUOTE]
