    Low light hunting scope circa 2021 ?

    Had an opportunity to check the light gathering on my binos and Leupy VX3 3.5-10x44 in very low light this weekend. Binos won hands down...

    Interested to head current recommendations for hunting type scopes that are excellent in very low light conditions.

    Found this old thread on best scopes for low light hunting...

    What is the current (2021) go ?

    Medium hunting magnification 3-9, 3-15 etc, not talking about long range 25x scopes.
    Would be fine with duplex reticle (currently using Windplex).
    Dialable turrets a must
    Firedot / illuminated reticle would be nice.
