Since I haven't seen a Vortex I would buy I will mention some I have purchased. If you get a good Swarovski z5 5-25X52 it is excellent in low light. I had four and two were terrible in low light. I have two Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50's. One is better than anything I have compared it to in any light. The other is like the two Swarovskis....terrible in low light. I bought three Bushnell 4200 4-16X40. They didn't seem as bright, but were better than the two bad z5's and the one 6500 scopes in low light. Better than all except the one 6500 was the Leupold VX-6 4-24X52. It was so close to the good 6500 that had to go back and forth between the two before deciding the 6500 was better. My son-in-law took about one second to tell me the 6500 was better. I asked him to check again. He said, "Yep. It's clearer and brighter."

With all that said, the Leupold has the boldest reticle.
