model70guy ponits out one flaw with these older but nice scopes. the optics are nice and even better is the fact the adjustments generaly are very reliable and tracks well. however the one thing newer scopes generaly have over these fine made classics is the advanced lens coating for better low light performance. with these older scopes if you realy need to see in low light conditions, keep the power setting as low as that particular scope will go. the combination of lack of better lens coatings along with a smaller objective lens that most scopes of that era seem to have limits their low light gathering ability.but once you get enough light, boy are they clear.
