RE: Best Light Gathering Scopes
 

I use a Zeiss Conquest 3 x 9 x 50 for hog hunting at night and with any moon at all I don't need a light to shoot. We've compared it to the Leupolds, Bushnellsand several others and it seems to be the clearest at night of the scopes we have.

Zeiss Conquest all the way...

RE: Best Light Gathering Scopes
 

Zeiss Conquest 3-9x50 should be all you need. I've owned Zeiss Conquests since they came on the market in 2001 and have been very, very pleased with them.

The wife is going to shoot me with my 7 magg when she see's how much I'm going to spend LOL

RE: Best Light Gathering Scopes
 

One thing you should consider with the 56 mm Obj. lens is the height required to mount that scope for cheek placement when shooting...

RE: Best Light Gathering Scopes
 

Yes this is true about the scope height.I located some local dealers here in the tampa area, so I am going to try and swing by this week and look at the diff scopes..

RE: Best Light Gathering Scopes
 

I have two 56 mm scopes and I have honestly never noticed the difference in scope height. It is actually a minimum amount of height, get a ruler and check. My 15 year old grandson has shot thru one of them and didn't seem to have any problem.

In quality scopes, I have never reallynoticed a discernable difference between a 40mm objective and larger objectives.
