Most all of my deer rifles have Leupolds on them (VariX-IIs 3-9s) and I've never really noticed this before but opening weekend the low light gathering was atrocious! Granted it was cloudly but I couldn't see well enough to take a shot AT sunset much less 30 minutes later (which given the cloud cover I wouldn't have expected but nonetheless...).
My cheap pair of 20mm binos from Nikon were MUCH brighter and this was even with the power turned all the way down on the scope.
The reason I ask is all my scopes are probably close to, if not over, 20 years old (yard to believe but now that I think about it, I guess it's true ). I'm sure there's been advances in glass, gas, etc... over the years even though the model designation has not changed. :
I may contact them for their suggestion but I was very disappointed in that particular scope. Guess I'll have to start checking my others...
Hunt/fish safely,
Phil
