[QUOTE="ridgewalker, post: 3045620, member: 55998"] Excellent idea wanting an illuminated dot IMO&E! Hard to find the crosshairs on a dark animal. Last bear I took was a blackie with dogs in NM. Looking up in the tree shade at a dark chocolate blob the illuminated dot helped tremendously! Using a 1-6x VX-6HD on a Marlin in 44 mag worked perfect. Another blackie years ago on the Kenai in the rain walk and stalk using a Kimber in 308 with a Bushnell 4500 1-4x illuminated worked perfect. On two tries on Kodiak a 375 H&H with the same Bushnell worked seeing the illuminated dot, but never found the right bear. I’m a huge fan of illuminated dots for DG no matter what the brand is. It just automatically draws the eye to the do. Put the dot where it needs to be and squeeze. I have been very happy the last few years using Leupolds VX-6 and VX-5 scopes. Depending on the caliber 1-6x, 2-12x, 3-15x…bear to buffalo including a very yellow mained lion hiding in dark shade. Best of luck finding what works best for you! [/QUOTE]
