I know they are illuminated but to be honest I could not see why I should have to turn it on a good half hour earlier that any of the other scopes mentioned just be able to do what they did without illumination.
For my eyes, I think it would make a good range scope where most of the shooting is done is good sunlight but for me it was a no go for hunting.

Then, what is the purpose of an illuminated reticle?


There are 2 rules to success:

1. Never tell everything that you know.
