Tract Toric is the best I have personally used. Unless foggy you can see quite well 30+ minutes before and after legal shooting time. Quite well as in counting the points on a deer, seeing that it's a 3" spike and not a doe, etc. If there is any ambient light you can see in the dark, you can shoot hogs without lights with a quarter or more moon in a field. Their bino's are INSANE, I have the 10x50 and they are silly how clear and bright they make things. Walking to a spot well before sunrise with full cloud cover and making sure you don't bump anything sure is nice. The rifle scope isn't as bright but it's not that far behind.

We have three of the 56mm Meostars, awesome scopes.
Yes, we focused them in.
I bought the Meopta sight unseen. I had never looked through a Meopta in my life.(or any $400+scope) I took the recommendations of several on here that for the price it would be the best low light scope your money could buy. I had no clue if the Meopta would hold up too the Leupold. In fact I figured it(Leupold) might end up better. So I was really happy that I had gotten what I was after...clarity in low light.
Now my brother in law assured me he would roast me in a prairie dog shoot. His Leupold had the fancy Christmas tree reticle. The guys that were there said he would shoot a "sighter" at a long range prairie dog and then hold for elevation and wind with a quick follow up shot using the dot in the reticle where his first bullet hit. Dead dog.
I guess he was making all of the range and dialer guys mad because he was shooting all of the dogs before they could range and dial.
My brother in law is far from a technical kind of guy, but he has super phenominal long range vision and he is a "shooter".I just bought the wife the Swaro because I came across a great deal, and I wanted to end her *****ing at me because I had spent way to much on my Meopta. Kind of a you can't complain now, your scope was double the money mine was.
I'm moving away from the tree reticles since I dial for elevation and hold for wind. I think the only real advantage the tree reticles have is seeing a miss and then quickly holding the dot closest to where that miss impacted and firing again. This works for static targets on the range with a backstop of a material that will show splash, but for hunting rarely is that the case. So yeah, I want to declutter the sight picture.Yes, we focused them in.

Redhawkrifles.com has "demo" scopes for sale. This is my latest NightForce optic: https://redhawkrifles.com/demo-like-new-nightforce-nx8-f2-riflescope-4-32x50mm-moar-cf2d/
Definitely consider these. Mine looked and acts like brand new. You can't tell it's a demo.

I have read a few times that the Nightforce 4-32x50 has a critical eye box. That would make it a non-starter for me.
Is this true?

I have three and I don't have any issues…if it is mounted correctly for your LOP.

Does the eye box accommodate moving through different positions, ie: sitting, standing, prone?
Rick Richard

Those positions cover all my shooting…so yes if I understand your question. The only issue I have is if magnification is on the very upper end, but that is typically the same for all scopes IMO.

I might just give one a try.

I am not disappointed in my choice.
