Just watched a review from Optics-trade and they seem to really like this scope, especially in low light conditions. Anybody here have any hands on experience with this scope?
I'm looking to replace my Swarovski Z3 with a better low light performer for hunting. Tried the Leica Magnus and Meopta R2, but no better in low light to my eyes.
 
Have you looked at the S&B Polar? There's also a really good low-light scope (purpose made for both) scope from Zeiss.

I'm considering the Polar T96, but unsure since the Optics-Trade review also said the Leica Magnus was better than the T96. I found the Magnus did not do better than my Z3 in low light. If the review is accurate, then the Polar T96 won't outperform my Z3.

They make good optics for the money.
 
For all the clown Chinese product badgers…….I hope you were typing that nonsense on an American made phone or computer. I own every optic in the book and can tell you ,for example ,the Trijicon rmr is a piece of shit compared to Holosun 508T. So there is that……..now slay me on your Chinese computer.
 
ignore the troll. if you're looking at ranger 6, go buy it. i've looked at ranger 8 at iwa and the price difference was so low, steiner is barely hiding they'll phase 6 out. same optics imo, 8 is just more polished

have you tried blaser infinity 4-20x58? an overlooked gem or zeiss vict v8, good glass and illumination control

It's not necessarily about performance, it's about funding an enemy government.

And this...

I happen to like dogs.

What part of, these people are actively trying to destroy us, and overrule our way of life; don't you people understand?
