[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 389716, member: 319"] I'm sorry, I haven't used these Trijicons so I can't comment but many users have been very pleased with them, the 2.5-10X56 as well. But two I have used that will work well as you described are the S&B 3-12X50 PMII and the Premier 3-15X50, both with the Gen II reticle. With this reticle only the small cross in the center illuminates and on the lowest setting it's so dim it does not wash out the target at all--there's no "glow" around it. I've used them in dark enough conditions the rest of the reticle was not visible--which is notable to me since I like to hold windage with the reticle, but at these times I had to dial windage since I couldn't see the rest of the reticle well enough to use--but the targets were still visible (white gongs can be seen when it's quite dark). Those probably aren't exactly what you're looking for, but they are examples of illumination systems that can work as you describe. But the Trijicons, specifically the 2.5-10X56 have gotten such good reviews for that type of use I'd suggest checking them out if you can. [/QUOTE]
