Personally, I love the "Hubbell" rifle scopes. Yes, I pay a 10-12 oz weight penalty for the 56 mm lens. But, I can shoot hogs on a greenfield with a quarter moon on a clear night, and I can judge a deer at 7 am on a cloudy drizzly morning.
That 15x comes in mighty handy if I have to shoot through a gap, or a long way off, but I can also dial down to 3x for close, dark, or wooded shots.
I'll just buy rifles that are lighter to make up for it.
I'll agree here. Not saying higher magnification or light transmission are not good for some circumstances, but for woods hunting there's absolutely no need for 15x or even 10x magnification. A 3x9x40 is plenty for a 200 or 300 yard shot on a greenfield. For 500 yard pokes on open farmland, yep, 15x or 20 X is nice.
