[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 160827, member: 25"] I agree with Dick, and despite a few reservations about its use I have done some interesting tests to try to determine how effective it really is. In my experience it is amazingly effective. I used Nightforce, Nikon and Leupold scopes and shot well past total darkness at steel targets out to 1000 yards. Some evenings we fired in very conditions and I was impressed first at how well we could still see the targets through the scopes and second how easy it was to make hits with the illumination on. I recently participated in a nice test of the Leupold MRT 3-9 with illumination and we made consistent hits on LVSteeltargets at 700 yards. Matter of fact I was surprised how well the scope let us shoot compared to how poor an image I was getting through a very good spotting scope. I believe the optical qualities of the scope will be a big factor in shooting in poor light and that illuminations ensures we can work with the crosshair intersection. [/QUOTE]
