Thread: Hunting Scope Magnification

I agree with the quality of glass .
As my eyes have gone south I’ve found that what others refer to as good “ low light “ glass is better for me even in sunlight.
I think it has something to do with contrast and shadows .
I run Kahles / Zeiss / and Meopta scopes now , it’s a shame but Leupold doesn’t work for me anymore, well not the ones I’ve tried anyway.
I haven’t upped my magnification, but have upped my low light performance.
