I shot deer w an M8 4x compact. Last kill was right at legal light in a thicket. Pretty dark. It was bright enough. But it wasnt spectacular.
The old Weaver V9.....pops and I had em way back, AO models bought new Sent back every couple yrs due to fogging. These had knurled dual rings on objective, dunno if one was a Steel Lite series.
After 2nd fogging of mine we said screw it and got Leupolds. Dad a 3.5-10x AO and me a 3-9x AO. Of course minr was dicked from the get go and sent back, replaced in 4 weeks. Zero probs w the replacement.
Yeah old vintage scopes are cool. But thats about it. Ill take newer stuff w better coatings, materials and designs.
