Too many folks focus on the brand scope and completely forget about the reticle. It doesn't matter if you can see the deer if you can't see the reticle. A more practical approach to scope decisions would be to pick your brand based on the reticle.
Amen. Any $400 scope nowadays will get you past legal shooting light, easily. I've owned several Euro scopes that had, IMO, inferior reticles (too thin) and were virtually worthless to me. The S&B Summit is one that comes to mind.
