Low Light Scope Suggestion??

I like my Burris Signature HD with illuminated reticle

50 mm front objective

44 mm at a minimum

Budget?

Nightforce

I mean, just look at the name. It’s a force at night.

So, since we don't have a budget here

My best low light scope i own is a leupild VX3i 2.5-8. Good glass and the reticle is a heavy duplex, excellent for "low light" up till shooting time is up.

My next scope will be a trijicon accupoint. I don't find the glass/exit pupil/etc to ever be the limiting factor in legal shooting time. It's always the reticle.

Mid range budget Zeiss diavari z. 30mm tube and you can find one used less than $1k

The best thing for low light is a green plot that the dark deer doesn’t blend into. Also, buy the kid a decent pair of binoculars. They’ll have countless hours of enjoyment n the field with binos. And a bunch of scopes will serve you well in low light.
Mistakes on shooting the wrong deer are amplified in the last few minutes of legal light. Buttons get shot for does, six points get shot for eights. Teach the youngster that legal time and seeing well enough to shoot can be different on different days. I’ve had a couple of evenings this year were I’ve left a couple of minutes on the clock because it was overcast and got dark early.

The Freedom mentioned above is better than my hd at low light, especially for the $$ spent. Agree the older vx is much better than both. So much so that off season i'm gonna swap and put the older vx on the new rifle I'm using now.
