Also wanting a scope with an illuminated reticle, I bought a Vortex Viper. I liked the scope, but the illumination, even at the lowest setting, was far too bright in dim light circumstances. I replaced it with a Leupold VX5 HD 3-15 with the firedot, and I believe I now have the scope I needed. The firedot can be adjusted to be bright or to be so dim you can barely see it. Now I’ll be able to put the dot on a black hog in dim light.
