Ive had a few.My favorite is the Burris E-1 with german3P #4 reticle.Also like the SIG whiskey 3 and the Hawke Endurance. Digging my same Burris that I paid something like $160 for. Worth MUCH more than that. Exactamundo! Ive been looking for another at anywhere close to that price...no dice!

t for what they cost, the Hawkes work well and as I said before, working well in dim light is the most important part for me. Others who shoot in the dark seem to complain more about lit reticles being too bright than anything else.
The aforementioned rheostat control works for that.....I have no trouble with the brightness in the dark. Calling and shooting with even a red light, the crosshair can be made to show up just fine....REALLY like the Hawkes for shooting after dark... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/vRlWWQu.jpg)

Back in the days when I was varmint calling during the winter, I saw that Bushnell had just brought out an illuminated reticle scope and I thought that it would be perfect for night time calling on my .22 magnum. It worked nicely for a while, but then one day the lighted reticle quit working. I figured that I had left the scope on and that the battery was low. Nope! I opened up the battery compartment and it was full of corroded white what ever comes out of batteries when they get and stay wet. Condensation from going from a cold environment back into the house had never entered my mind, but it sure did with my scope and the thing was ruined. First and last time that I ever wanted a battery powered scope reticle. It might work for you warm weather guys, but not so much for me in the frozen north.
My other auto is a .45
The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory

First and last time that I ever wanted a battery powered scope reticle. It might work for you warm weather guys, but not so much for me in the frozen north. Most likely that wasn't moisture, but rather a battery drained completely which then began to leak. I've had the same thing happen with Maglites and Duracell AAs. Can happen to anything with a battery, which is why they tell you to remove them for storage. Even if not left on to drain, batteries sometimes leak, especially bargain brands. While I was still working, I switched to led Maglites AND rechargeables . Never had a quality rechageable leak, yet.
What fresh Hell is this?

I’ve been thinking on the Burris Four X 1.5-6x42mm - 3P#4 E Dot Illuminated.
Seems pretty good for the $$.
Its not always easy to do the right thing, But it is always the right thing to do.

I haven’t tried one yet but the Tract Toric might be worthy of consideration.
John They aren’t illuminated.
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.
