Good buy here. I have this exact same scope on a Winchester M70. I used it in South Carolina in October. For those unaware, you can shoot legally 1hr before sunrise/1hr after sunset down there. I shot a decent buck at 28 minutes before sunrise down a narrow shooting lane in a pine bottom, with tall pines on the east edge of the lane and thick hardwoods on the west edge. So, not much light in there a 1/2 hour before sunrise. No problems whatsoever making that shot.
Carried that rifle for 7.5 days of hunting, using that Meopta scope. I was constantly the last hunter of the group (6 total) to come in. I had two other rifles with me....one has a Leupold VX7 and the other has a Swaro Z3. I wasn't missing anything by using the rifle with the Meopta.
Sorry...just felt some in-the-field use of this optic might be in order. It's a winner, no question.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
