Low Light hunting scope

[Floridave]

Looking for some help with new scope, primary reason is looking for excellent low light performance, those very first and very last moments of legal shooting light in deep dark woods in the southeast.

I have narrowed down to 3, all in the $1200-$1400 range at Eurooptic, all illuminated reticle.
Any thoughts as to which would serve me best? This is not for long range hunting, though I do want to be able to dial for the range.

Schmidt Bender 3-12x50 Klassik LM L3

Swarovski Z5i 2.4-12x50 - BT-4W-I

Trijicon AccuPoint 3-18x50 MOA Ranging Reticle with Green Dot

Zeiss Conquest V6 2.5-15x56mm Illuminated Plex Reticle

I’d go Schmidt or trijicon from that list.

Some Europeans can hunt at night as long as they don’t use electronics; so my understanding is that Schmidt and Benders are pretty much the top dog in that respect out of those two.

S&B from that list. Slightly Stretching the budget will get you the S&B 3-12x50 Zenith which is a step up in low light performance over the Klassik. Both are excellent scopes.

I would also add Trijicon Accupoint 2.5-10x56 to your list to consider. Full disclaimer, I do not own that scope. I own lots of other Accupoints though and have been considering the 2.5-10x56 for a low light, shorter range whitetail hunting rifle for my son.

I have a Trijicon 2.5x10x56 on a 30-06 and LOVE IT....and my next rifle will have the 3-18x50 on it for the great glass and low light resolution...May actually put on my 280 AI and take scope off of it to give my grandson for his new rifle I bought him. Trijicon is top notch on ruggedness and quality....plus their reticle with non electronic illumination is very good too...if ind the green dot to be precise and easily picked up when hunting.
