The deer in these parts never seem to come out until the last few miutes of light. In the past I've used 1.75-5 x20 but the light gathering ability real don't work, my eye's arent getting any better. I put a Leupy 2-7 x32 on my 336 35 recently. Maybe a little better light gathering I'm hoping. I tend to over scope my hunting rifles. My favorite light rifle is a Ruger 77 light weight carbine with a 16" barrel in 7mm 08. I have a full size Zeiss 3-9x40 on it. Kind of odd combo but you can't kill what you can't see. I can about read a newspaper in the moon light with that scope.
