I've got a bit of an optics dilemma trying to choose between 2 great optics for some low light/ night hog hunting, think fast shooting, short ranges, moving targets:
Zeiss Duralyt 1.5-5x36
Vs.
Leupold VX6 1-6x24
The exit pupil and sunsequent eye box on the Zeiss is so easy to get behind, I can be anywhere behind it at any magnification and be relatively parrallax free and have a good picture.
The Leupold with it's straight objective tube, is actually brighter at night (true at all magnifications, I've tested them side by side), the reticle can be illuminated, but zoomed in to 4-6x it has a pretty tiny eyebox, and the 4mm exit pupil is about at the limit of my eye, so i get teh moon sliver affeectwith teh scope at full magnification. Also at short ranges the edge effect/ parrallax is pretty noticeable on this scope, I never thought that a large objective could solve so many issues with exit pupil/ parallax.
Which would you go with?
Thanks!
