moridgerunner - I did that same exact thing. I check to make sure my scope is on the lowest setting before I leave the four wheeler, every morning. And I do the same thing at about 30 min till sunset as well.
And getting the most amount of light, is why I was considering the VX-3L 3.5x10-50.

Light transmission is very important in a scope but it costs more for the better glass. I leave my scope on the lowest power at first light so that it gathers the most light. As far as rings go steel is better than aluminum.
