Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics scope with illuminated reticle

I got it for $351.00 ,I dont have a problem seeing deer in the fields 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after sundown with Leupold VX1 3-9x40 scopes but having trouble seeing the reticle against
the deer due to a botched cataract surgery and just older eyes in general.
This scope is supposed to be the equivalent of a VX2 from what I have read so that will be fine .
I looked at your scope in the classifieds but did not really like the circle type of red dot on that particular model
Also think I will like the Green dot of this scope better than the red dot of the VX-R.

I have this scope mounted on my 6.8 ar. Very nice for the $300 I paid for it off of the sample list at SWFA. I haven't used the illumination yet though. When I carried it I shot deer at mid day. Go figure.

My thoughts too, unless you live somewhere where night shooting varmints is legal, maybe right at dusk/dawn deer hunting?
