    Best scope I ever owned for night work was a Nikon 2.5-10x56
    I got it second hand for a reasonable price.

    With out a lamp you could make out animal shapes in almost pitch darkness at 2.5x


    However it was limited during the day on 10x. I woould not shoot a deer over 200 yards with it

    I used to also use it lamping foxes.

    I shot more foxes with that rig than any other.

    Heres a pic of scope and rifle

    Sako 75 6.5x55se November 1st 2005 or 2006, not sure

    save up and get any of the top makes second hand if you can afford them,
    Zeiss, Schmidt & Bender, Swarovski, nightforce, docter, meopta, leica, kahles
    or high end leupolds (like vx 11, vx iii, vx 3), bushnell elites, nikon monarchs or burris fullfield or diamond models

    Get one of the above mentioned brands and you should be ok.
    I was talking to a mate recently and he told me another friend of his has now gone through 6 scopes and he is not shooting very long.
    He keeps buying cheap chinese scopes on the internet.
    He is probably out the price of a zeiss by now and he still has no scope.
