Maybe it should be pinned - I am sure it would help many people who are looking for good information about optics.

I prefer to think of it as amplifying the light, or sucking it in, or creating light even. "Transmission" is too limited, too defined.
A good scope creates light, I heard it on the range by a dude wearing camo.

Respect is something you earn. Equality is something you whine about not being given. |

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |

Chris: This seems to be just a promo piece on the magazine by any of those that want to promote. I am a long time NRA member, and any article I find on American Hunter, is just a paid advertisement. |

Obviously, Leupold "gathers" more light at the appropriate time than anyone else, including Zeiss...

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living |

In my experience, the best scopes have two undeniable qualities - at least to guys wearing camo at the range:
1 - a US company has them made (somewhere, anywhere, but rarely the US); and 2 - they automatically adjust light generation based on the distance of the target. |
