Bold reticles help, even when not illuminated.
That gave me pause to think. I tend to prefer finer reticles. After all I do most of my shooting with my hunting guns at targets, and I much prefer finer reticles for eeking out the smallest possible groups.
As we all know I am a fan of the Made In USA scopes and you mentioned the VX5.
The illumination allows a very fine reticle that is totally usable in even darkness and can be left on for months.
Fire Dot illumination is a bit of a game changer for hunting reticle design.
