I do understand that this is subjective to a point. I am a deer hunter....I hunt ranges from 100-600 yrds......I am not interested in adjustable turrets and windages and all that.
In order of importance to me:
-Low light gatherings at dawn and dusk
-50or more MM
-Normal up/down....rt/left adjustments
In arsenal now are Ziess Conquest MC / Older Swaro HD / Cabeles (Meopta)Instinct...in the past had a Meopta Meostar that was good.
What else would you consider elite low light scopes for hunting.

I have S&B polar and Zeiss HT. Both are excellent. High end Leupolds are good too, but not as bright as these.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I hear they're flat shooting sob's.

That Meostar is definitely a good one. However if you are shooting low light you are not shooting 600 yards.

Illuminating reticle with reference points.
But I don’t use the big 50 mm stuff .

You don't NEED a 50mm objective. A 20mm objective set on 4X, a 40mm objective on 8X, and a 50mm objective on 10X let in EXACTLY the same amount of light. And just about all the light a human eye can use. If you go above those magnifications/objective sizes, then you start to handicap yourself. A 40mm scope set on 9X will let in more light than a 50mm scope set on 12X.
A better-quality scope will appear somewhat brighter in low light assuming equal size objectives. I'd rather have a quality scope with a 40mm objective than a budget scope with a 50mm objective. IMO a 50mm scope has more negatives than positives.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

They may have the same exit pupil, but I don't believe that's all there is to it.
