I bought my Swaro PH8x56 from member Rifle,(thanks)thinking I would give it a try as a last light food plot optic. I have never owned a large objective fixed scope before.Put it on a Sako L61R,300H&H, overkill for southern whitetail but should avoid tracking in the dark! I am more than impressed w/ the performance. Saturday sundown was at 4:54 CDT,I had a nice 3 yr old 8pt in field (not quiet what I am after,maybe next year) and some hogs came in the field around 5pm. I stayed around and could have taken a shot on the hogs at 5:45 or later at 150yds. The contrast was impressive,though I would not shoot a deer that late. the scope was actually better at that point than my Pentax 10x50 DCF SP binos, I am sure a S&B would perform equally as well.
Our landowner has pretty tight restrictions on inside spread and 8pt or better, so I am hoping the scope will help in judging.
