What scope fills this need?


Your location is showing in GA. Are you going to be hunting in low light conditions? Is weight a concern?



Yes to low light conditions as I primarily hunt in the woods but I do hunt some power lines. Mostly stand hunting but some still hunting. I am not overly concerned with weight. Would like to spend $500 or less.
