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 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.

I might check out that 3x12x56
One thing you should consider with the 56 mm Obj. lens is the height required to mount that scope for cheek placement when shooting...

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.
