I have a Leupold VX5HD 3x15x56 and a VX6HD 4x24x52, both are good scopes. My VX5HD has a fire dot and it's a nice feature but I've never needed to turn it on. But neither Leupold scope is as crisp in low light as a Swarovski Z6 2.5-15x56.
The better you can see without a scope, the better you can see with a scope, nothing beats excellent eye sight. I know this thread is about scopes, but my preference is Steiner 10x 50 binoculars. The Steiner's are auto focus once you adjust them to your eyes and you can sweep close to far and there's no need to adjust the focus. Steiner isn't the best binocular, but for hunting their excellent hunting binoculars.
