Price is not a major concern for me but I list it because I certainly don' t want to pay more for a scope if it isn' t better quality than one of the lesser priced ones. My shots will mostly be out to 300 yards. Here in Alabama however big bucks often don' t move until nearly the end of legal shooting light. So light gathering abilty is high on my list of priorities. Also interested in the waterproof and fogproof qualities of these scopes as winters in Alabama are usually wet.
