I only have experience with the Hawke 1.5-6x42 Endurance 30. It's my first illuminated reticle too. I love the scope but it's very heavy. The lenses are probably not VX-R quality, but for the woods hunting I'm doing with this scope, it doesn't need to be. Certainly clear enough for me to get the job done without complaint.

A side by side comparison with the Burris would be nice.
