The Trijicon would be tough to beat if low light was your normal hunting condition, heavy cover cloudy days. Objective diameter makes a difference my 3-9x50 beats my 3-9x40 Conquest any time for low light and the HD 5 3-15x50 beats them both. If you found a 30mm tube and 56mm objective in your price range it might not be light or sleek but would.be bright in low light.
