The Leupold VX-3L 4.5-14x56 Long Range Illum. Boone & Crockett scope is perfect for long range shooting in low light conditions. The only bad thing is that it is expensive.

Excellent clarity and a good Field of Vision at Max and Min Magnification. The only problem is the control for the illumination level. It does not have a positive stop at the zero power level. In low light use, it is impossible to know if the scope is drawing battery power at a low level. The lack of a positive stop on the control dial means that even sliding the weapon into a case will likely start a battery drain. This is also true on the other Leupold illuminated scopes. Requires very careful handling. Carrying a spare battery with the weapon is mandatory.
