How about a simple T-Plex with the same sort of red dot in the middle for hunting? I like a reticle that’s visible in cover both when lit, and when not.
I have a Trijicon Huron HX 1-6 that’s pretty good, but like many the side bars are too far from center. They also make a 1-8, but it’s a 34mm and pretty heavy for hunting.
I agree, with T-Plex and the illumination. And while I am wishing, they could have stopped at 6x.
But, I did pre-order one of these 1-8x24’s. I am planning on putting it on a 223 bolt rifle.
I do really like that T-Plex reticle in the 2-10x42 that I have.
