I used to have Leopold Vari-X III's on all my guns. A very good scope. But after purchasing some Swarovski binoculars and hunting in low light here in Georgia, I found that I could easily see things with my binocs, would pull my gun up for a shot, and see nothing. I realized that I had a mismatch between the quality of my optics, especially in low light conditions. I have since switched to Swarovskis on all almost all of my guns and love them. For DG, I have a Swarovski 1.5x6 on my .375.
