[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 446603, member: 2693"] I've got both. I am NOT impressed with Leupold's light gathering ability the last few minutes of legal hunting time which happens to be when I kill a lot of game. 2 days before the KY season ended I had plenty of time to check magnification on a deer. I cranked it from 4.5 to 14 and back twice. Anything above 5 got dark quick through the scope and I still had 12 min of legal hunting time. If this deer happened to be beyond 300 yards, I would not have taken a shot. Leupold is a great company and they make quality scopes. But for the money, I am better served with higher quality glass through Zeiss. I have compared the 2 during these conditions enough times now where I can say, I bought my last Leupy roughly 10 years ago. My Nikon 4x12x40 I bought 21 years ago did a better job for me than any one of my Leupold 4.5x14x40s when it counted. [/QUOTE]
