Anyone running a zeiss 8x56. I know some were built with 1" tubes and some 30 mm. Just wanted to see what everyone thought of them and how they perform at low light and at night/moonlight type situations. I've been so impressed with my conquest scopes and old 10x50 rubber armored steel binos I don't think I could go wrong with the Zeiss product. S&B would still be my first choice I think though.'just still trying to pick a Scope for this night gun.

A Diavari would be a variable power scope. I believe you mean Diatal.
That scope is a little too specialized for me. Even if I were to use a 56mm scope, I'd have one I could dial down in magnification.

I shoot a lot of head shots on deer and pigs. Used a 3-9 forever and only turned it down much below 6 right at dusk. All my shots at calm, still animals I always cranked up to 9 for head or body shots. 8 oughta be fine for me for what this scope will be for. Late afternoon and night pigs and doe deer. I have to hunt the pigs at 300 plus yards on pipelines and beanfiels sometimes and 8 oughta be enough mag to make a good shot up to 400. Just need it to be tough and gather as much light as possible. Weight and size isn't an issue. But it will get bumped around a lot and I'll have to crawl with it and it will get covered in mud and crap constantly. I want something as simple and bombproof as possible.
