Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Best low light deer hunting scope.

I'll also go with a Meopta 6x42mm with a #4. Outstanding glass and a great reticle.

Got one of those too- an Artemis.

Are you talking Meopro?

That is the only 6x42 Meopta makes currently. I would look for a Meopta r1 with a 4c reticle and call it good

Don't own any scopes that cost over $700.00

The reticle is very important to me also, as others have mentioned.

Where I hunt, my perception is that I see most of the animals I shoot very early or very late, so low light capability is at the top of the list.

I have a Meopro 3.5-10x44 with German #4 that is great to my eyes. A Conquest 3-9x40 with German #4 that is great and a VX-3 1.75-6x32 with a Custom Shop #4 that is pretty decent. My Elite 4200 3-9x40 is pretty good but I lose the reticle quite often, it is a duplex.

I've owned two Vipers that to my eyes were noticeably inferior in low light to my other scopes - for my eyes. The Nikons I've looked through were about the same as Vipers. I've had a couple of Fullfield II's that were surprisingly good in low light.

all my low light scopes are ziess conquest and meoptas.


itll get me later than i need to shoot.

To me the best money spent on a scope is the $350 3-10x44 meopta doug sells.

Owned just about every scope made under $2500, so I'm going with Trijicon green dot. It'll give you a shot in darkness if you can still see outline of animal.

Definitely. Bright and clear optics that is available with either a #4 or Meopta's slightly thicker duplex.

Thanks for all the input guys.... I have a used ziess conquest on loan (with possible sale) for the last few days so that I could look through i at dusk... and it looks very good.... But I have decided to give it back to him (Ring marks on scope)

So I just ordered a Meopta 3-10x44 From Cameraland bases upon the recommendations here..

Thanks for all your input and pictures... You guys have been a great help!
