Yep, I never use straight tubed scopes early or late. There may be some that gather enough light, but they're not in my price range. For me, they excel on walkabout rifles in mid day where the shooting may be close and/or fast. That's what I plan to use the 1917 above for.
That's something that has confused me over the years. A scope is said to pass a proper amount of light if the exit pupil is at or higher than what the average eye can use....usually considered to be about 5 or 6. The exit pupil on a 2,5X20 scope is 8! Why can't you see as well at dusk as you can with a 4X32?
