I have never hunted at night either, but almost always in low light.
I think I would stick to a brand that I knew I liked unless you're really looking to upgrade or your preferred brand doesn't have what you are looking for.
Example, I have a Nikon 3-9x40 BDC reticle and I love that scopes clarity and low light performance. It was about $120.
I recently bought a Vortex Viper 4-16x44, paid $400 on sale. It is a good scope, but in all light conditions my Nikon beats it in clarity for me. maybe because of the factors coyotezapper stated, but I have also heard some brands work better depending on your eyes. I wish now I would've gotten into the Nikon Monarch line, may still one of these days.
Thanks for the info zapper, it helps a lot of us.
