[QUOTE="KY_Windage, post: 1822090, member: 108082"] A lot of scopes, even if they are illuminated, will not get bright enough to see the reticle in bright daylight like that, and esp. when you are turned down to min. power. Also, even if they will illuminate that brightly, that amount of illumination is blinding before or after sundown, so if you last had it on in low light you may have to spend time adjusting the illumination in the sunlight situation to be able to see it. (There's that "time" thing FFP people are always worried about.) Then there is the dead battery issue, or the many scopes that do not have illumination at all, or that have it but it is hard to change intensity (like NF NXS). I turn down to low power to scan for game. Note how the FFP scope in the video, when turned to low power, drags the fat outer parts of the reticle toward the center of the picture, cluttering it and obstructing your view. That is my main gripe with FFP. [/QUOTE]
