With the scopes today mid price scopes are good. But when you consider the money, time, and effort you put into this then is it worth it to not be able to take the shot. I have Leup, Nikon, Swar, and a few others but i go to my Trijicon bar none. 56mm bell, 30mm tube, Swar glass. It allowed me to shoot a coyote in starlight only. I am just saying how many times have you heard someone say "I saw a monster but it was just a bit to dark to shoot".
