That's good to know. Personally, I'd like to wait for the non-illuminated versions to come out as I'm not real big on illuminated reticles. Hopefully, they'll have a bold #8 style reticle in the non-illuminated series. I'm vey happy with the Leica ER series non-illuminated scopes. Not to heavy and superb optics. As I've said before, hopefully the Leica ER scopes will follow Leica's well earned reputation of durable optics. I have no reason to believe they won't be. The Meopta scopes have me hoping for a viable option.
