I wasn't looking for illumination as a benefit during bright sun broad daylight, more dawn and dusk and in the dark timber. I find it work great for that. I've taken black wolves in dark timber in very very dark conditions with ease.


I appreciate the feedback. This is good. I've evolved a little over time to where I think the best hunting scope for me is a 2nd focal plane mil based system for hold overs with capped turrets and illumination dull enough for low light in timber or night hunting on hogs. I don't want to worry about turrets getting bumped. I like being able to see my reticle on low power which is why I'm moving to a 2nd focal plane. I went through the Mil/MIL FFP phase and for my hunting something like the Trijicon Accupower 3-9 seems like a good fit. I just haven't heard anyone talk about them on the Fire.
