Well the Meopta wasn’t the answer.

Just got back from comparing the SWFA 3-9x42 to the new Optika6 3-18x56 FFP In low light...the Meopta is going back. 1 of us felt the SWFA was at worst as good as the Meopta at last light with both on 9x looking at deer and a tree line at 350 yards from 20-40 minutes after sunset, with myself and one of the others thinking the SWFA was brighter. All 3 of agreed the reticle in the SWFA was easier to see. Just going to leave good enough alone, though I am still tempted to take a look at a SWFA 5-20x50.
