My eyes aren’t working like they used to, and in low light situations I am finding it harder to identify animals at the feeder, even through the scope. Some of the areas I hunt are heavily wooded which makes it even harder to see the last 20 or so minutes of shooting light. Looking for a good quality scope that will gather as much light as possible for under $400 or so. I currently have a Leupold on my Thompson Center Encore, and I have been pleased with it. Just looking for suggestions from some of the guys that shoot more than I do.

I'm sure someone will come along with a great solution but imo a $400 scope isn't going to be a game changer if your sight is getting that bad.
Can you see through the scope well enough to aim?
I'd try to put as much money possible towards a really nice pair of binoculars if you can. Identify with binos then shoot

There many great reviews on the vortex scopes. His budget is the main factor.
Let's just recommend a scope for his budget instead of recommending something different.
Even if you can see with good binoculars, you still have to see the target thru the scope, which he has said is an issue for him.
I do a ton of research before making purchases. More often then not, I get paralysis by analysis and its not really necessary.
1. He wants a new scope
2. He can spend a maximum of $400
What fits that budget?

I guess what Im wondering, is can I find a decent upgrade to what I have for teh price I am willing to spend. Here is what I have now.
Explore the very best in riflescopes. Leupold delivers legendary performance and dependability hunters and shooters expect from a premium riflescope. Leupold riflescopes are guaranteed for life.
It does amazing for every situation except the last 15-20 minutes of shooting light. Even in dawn light I can make everything out because my eyes are adjusted to low light. Its the transition in the other direction as my eyes are trying to adjust to losing light.
Here is something I found, and was wondering if upgrading to a similar model would be worth the extra expense, or if the difference would even be noticeable.

Look for a Meopta Meostar used if you can. You will probably have to up your budget by a $300 but it’s well worth it.
