[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 462493, member: 3745"] One thing you might consider is a good spotting scope to complement your scope. I whitetail hunt from a box stand often and always take my Zeiss spotting scope. Often I can see a deer well enough to shoot him through my rifle scope, but cannot judge the antlers well enough to decide if he is a shooter. The spotting scope solves that problem. If it is too dark to see through it....... shooting hours are over.:) You might also consider a scope that adjusts to a fairly low power if you are going use a variable. The lower the power setting the brighter the scope will be. Very low light conditions don't make for good long range shooting, so you may want to consider a compromise with the power range, maybe a 4-12 or so rather than 6-20. [/QUOTE]
