One other comment I'll make - with all scopes it is important to setup the diopter correctly to your eye and with some scopes it's important to fine tune the diopter using the lowest magnification where you can still see the FFP (first focal plane) reticle clearly using the blue sky or blank...
That is a very long way to get to the answer to your question:
For me personally, I felt the SAI 6 did very well in low light. For this particular review I did not do my full evaluation testing so I could not say for certain, but I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. The SAI 6 is...

I moved to Colorado 30 years ago in large part to escape the radical takeover of Kalifornia and I must agree, Colorado has become Kolorado. When I first arrived in '93 (in Boulder County mind you) the state was pretty red, lots of conservatives, but Polis and his billionaire buddies changed...
