[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1472456, member: 103369"] I had a 10x SWFA SS out this past winter, in the treestand side by side with my kid's old Zeiss MC diavari (not the same one as my diavari V model I've mentioned here) nearing dusk, the SS began to get hazy and faded out long before the zeiss. This has matched my other impressions of the SS scopes, which start to fade out about the same time as the older leupold M-series fixed and Vari-X II's. The newer VX3's seem to be brighter. As far as the 50mm diavari V that I mentioned above, it blew the doors off the new 50mm vx3i leupold and was still "bright" at a range of settings when the 50mm Leica faded out, and was still "useable" around 6x when the 56mm Kahles Helia C started to fade. I'm not sure why I didnt drag out my R2 meopta for that test, nor any of the other 1" meoptas or zeiss conquests. Honestly, I'm considering an additional 8x56 fixed Euro scope right now. From what I hear, they are the brightest for low light (fewer lenses to diffuse light and good exit pupil) and still capable out to 500 yards [/QUOTE]
