I use a Zeiss Conquest 3 x 9 x 50. I bought it for hog hunting at night. W/ any kind of moon light at all I don't need any additional light. There is also a another scope we have been using made by ZOS. It has lighted crosshairs and the ones we have are 4 x 16 x 50. A friend of mine has been getting a deal on them for about $110 a piece though I don't think they will stay that price for long. I don't know the exact model number because the gun is out in the country right now though the optics seem to be as clear as the Leopold we replaced w/ it.
