I currently have a SS 1-6x illuminated mil-mil and like it very much but I was considering the Bushnell Elite Tactical SMRS 1-8.5x24mm - Illuminated BTR-2 to get a little more magnification on the back end. My biggest concerns are the 34mm diameter tube which will be more expensive to mount and weigh more overall as well as a user review about the reticle failing after a relatively small number of rounds. So can anyone here weigh in with their experience on this one??
