Like I said, I haven't had a chance to side by side compare it with anything (top notch) in low light, but I found it pulls more than enough light in, in conditions I'd be happy to shoot in as far as low light is concerned.
The only other scopes I've compared it with was my old Nikon Monarch 3 3-12 and my mates Vortex AMG 6-24×50.
It was easily better than the Monarch and at least equal to the AMG if not slightly better imo but not really apples with apples if ya know what I mean.
It's not vx5 price but I think for the money it punches well above it's price point. I have no plans to replace it.
If it's of any consequence my mate with the AMG was impressed enough to buy 1 as well to put on his finnlight 7mm rem mag.
