I have the 3-12X56 scope on my primary hunting rifle and it's a good one. Even though it's an older model it still holds its own in today's scope market. We hunt 1 hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset and the lilluminated reticle adds another 20 minutes of shooting time to the beginning and end of the hunting day. I've got a surplus of scopes Swaros and Zeiss or I'd be on it.
