Have 2 of the illuminated 2x7 on 223 and 06, they are 5 or 6 yrs old, love them for night varmint calling. I think they are as clear as my VX-R 2x7. Also have a 3x9 illuminated on a CZ 527,223, works great. The illuminated dot is terrific at night, no searching for crosshairs, with the dot illumination turned down to a 2 or 3 level, it is perfect.
