Ok beating around the bush to ask without looking like a complete idiot. I used to have a Simmons Atec. Believe it or not, that Simmons would let me hunt until it was too dark to see the ground. Relative to the law of 30min after sunset, that was generally within 5min according to my watch...never seen an exact official time to set your watch by in the regulation book anyway and 5min leeway seems reasonable as long as you're not shooting something with feathers and quacks lol.

ANYWAY........ I'm looking at some of the 40mm Nikon scopes. Could I expect the same light transmission as with the 44mm Atec I had?
