I am wanting to replace a Pentax Lightseeker 3x9x43 with heavy reticle.  I'm looking at the Swarovski 33x10x42 AV with plex reticle.  Will the post on the Swarovski plex reticle be nearly as heavy as the Pentax?  I am lookiing for extreme low light performance.  Also,  how will this Swarovski AV compare to the Kahles 30mm 2x10x50 in terms of low light performance...especially clarity?  Thanks.

The Swarovski's reticle is not as heavy as the Pentax heavy plex.  If you get a Professional Hunter or Kahles 30mm the reticle will "power-up"  and appear larger on the higher powers.  The Swarovski AV is a brighter, clearer scope when compared to the Kahles 2.5-10x50 if you compare them while they are both producing the same size exit pupil.
