I to am fond of the 2-7X scopes for hunting. IMHO if one needs to buy an "entry level scope" it's best to stick to the basics. Lighted reticles are not one of them. I hunt mostly thick brush and dark timber to and find Leupolds hvy reticle work well. I believe the Leupold 2-7x32 VX-1 shotgun scope is so equipped. Maybe give it a thought.
Couldn't agree more. All my lever guns were Leupold 2-7x33's. Use these rifle for south AR creekbottoms.
