Use this to mount your Fenix and any scope becomes a low light champion. I lost my Fenix flashlight earlier this season. Best flashlight out there.

Too many scope snobs on here. A lot of good suggestions mentioned above. My suggestion is a GPO (German Precision Optics) scope. They're made in both 1" & 30mm tubes. I've always thought the 30mm drew in more light. That was based on my observations not printed data from the scope maker. I also think that the better scopes have better glass coatings. I might be saying that wrong, but oh well. I have a GPO 2.5-15x50mm with Lighted #4 reticle, red dot. I've hunted with friends rifles that has Zeiss, Swaros and Kahles on them and the GPO was just as clear & bright the high end european scopes. The price was a lot less than those scopes too. It comes down to what you're comfortable spending on a scope to meet your needs. I have an opinion just like everyone else, but when it's all said and done, only what matters to you is the decision you'll make. Like I said, a lot of good scopes have been mentioned. Do your own research and make the decision you feel most comfortable with.

Damn, really good deal on the Swaro. Just ordered the same scope with a plex reticle last week. Paid $450 more than this one.

Yep. I'm hoping someone buys it real soon or I'm not gonna be able to help myself. That #8 reticle seems like it would be about as good as a #4.

All of the high end euro scopes with a 30mm tube will have more light gathering capabilities that the human eye can use.
Swarovski Zeiss Schmidt & Bender
Now that we got the millionaire optics out of the way. The best scope, for less than three months of mortgage payments, is the Meopta. I agree that Meopta and/or Minox are very good for the money as long as they have the 30mm tube. The tube size is more Important that the objective size. As an example; a scope with a 30mm tube with a 42mm objective brings in more light than a 1" tube with a 56mm objective. I once thought the exact same thing. Turns out that is not the case. Tube size has nothing to do with light gathering. It's all in the glass. Tube size allows for more elevation. And before people begin to RIP me and not know.....please google it and read optics planets article on the subject. Or anybodies article on the subject really. I guess it was just an old wives tale. Dunno!!
