I have the 3-9 SS on a semi .308 for longer distance shooting. It is a pretty heavy and fairly sizable scope, and might add more heft than needed on a Tikka SL. It is also more money than the 6xMQ or the 1-4 Classic. I think bcraig and I are both on the right track in looking into the two scopes mentioned in his post, we are simply having a hard time getting hard data on the differences between the two as per low light use. My opinion only, bcraig's may vary. For my own use, the 3-9 is more weight than I care to add to a Hawkeye that weighs 7lbs right out of the box with just the rings, no sling, no scope, no ammo.
