They are not Swarovski's. But I like mine for the money. Works well for most situations.

how does it do in low light?

First off, +1 grizzly

I like mine as well. It is light and easy to carry, and I think for the money it is hard to beat.

The negative: I have already sent it back to vortx once to have the "zoom" fixed. (They were great to work with.)
I found that I left mine on 20X a lot, because I was not happy with the clarity on higher mag. I used it last on an LE elk hunt and was using it to try to score bulls from a distance. A friend had a swaro spotter, and it was definately easier to judge those bulls with his. I bought a swaro this year, but am keeping the Nomad for a back up and a scope to throw in my pack.

Love mine. As said, don't expect it to do the same as a Swaro, but it is still alot better than alot of scopes in the same price range. Mine does ok in the low light, no complaints.

Here is a pic I took with mine.

This is a pic of low light conditions. It was late in the evening and overcast over 1/2 mile away.

Don't forget about the Razor! A bunch more money but its a great scope, they should have the straight out in the fall....maybe to late for this season
