With its light transmission of more than 96 %, the 3-12x54 Polar T96 is the ideal riflescope for hide hunting and for shooting at medium distances in low light conditions. The lean 54 mm objective allows the riflescope to be mounted rather low and yet still allows a better light transmission performance than other larger 56 mm objectives due to its patented optical design. Furthermore, the optional parallax adjustment/side focus is ideal for attached night vision or thermal objective devices. If you are using such devices be sure to adjust your parallax adjustment/side focus in order to achieve the best possible image quality with this combination.
