Straydog i it's Amazing what you can do with Irons when you set your mind to it......no doubt my vision is not what it was.......but I have killed several Tree squirrels this year with irons, some out to 60 yds or so with rifles, others at 35-40 with handguns. I do use scopes too and yes it makes it easier, especially in low light when sight pic is difficult without.
Youper that #1 is a bold reticle in the 6x, even 4x and will show in the darkest of conditions. Guessing you hunt a lot of timber.
