[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 270132, member: 4191"] I'd buy the scope to use in daylight hours. I wouldn't buy it if I planned to hunt at night by moonlight. I agree that some scopes allow a person to see better in dim light. This particular scope doesn't do that for me. I see about the same through the scope as I do with the naked eye in dim/dark light conditions. I bought these scopes for daytime hunting. I can turn them down to 3X and shoot at charging brown/grizzly/black bears at close range. I can turn them up to 18X and shoot at game animals 1000 yds away. I bought the second one because I came to like the MP-8 reticle so much after having used the first one for two years. I used to hunt fox at night on snow covered ground using moonlight and/or using the nearby City lights which would reflect back off of cloud cover and provide enough low-level light to see and shoot fox when they were out and about after dark. I wouldn't purchase this scope for that type of hunting because it doesn't allow for improved visibility in these light-starved settings. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
