My "room" is on the west side of the house. Three scopes in my desk drawer as I type. A few days ago, I tested them on an object about 80-90 yards away as the low sun got really close to said object. (That is about as far as I can see for the trees.)

3-9 Leupold Ultralight AO - no fade or white out.
3X M8 same.
Vintage Weaver 2.5-5 failed as it blanked out.

The UL has a reputation for flare outs on this forum. Mine did not, and it is a good twenty years old. I think it goes back on the .243. Perhaps makers have a better handle on whatever causes this.

I have never had an urge to use S & B. Too expensive for sure. I get along pretty good with less costly scopes. jack
