[QUOTE="barrelnut50, post: 1760772, member: 86350"] Sorry, I've not had problems with any Swarovski scopes in low light, and I've done side-by-side of testing in low light. If there is a transmission problem with the scope optics, you would have noticed it in daylight. I can only suggest you keep the magnification below 7X so that the exit pupil is at least as large as your eye pupil. 12X is definitely too high for low light - that produces a 4.1mm exit pupil that is even smaller than my old, dark adapted eyes. 5X should not have been a problem unless your eye wasn't centered in the exit pupil. In low light it may not be obvious that your eye isn't centered because the shading at the side of the field of view is essentially black against black. FYI, in low light I keep my scope on the lowest possible magnification, then dial it up after I acquire the target. [/QUOTE]
