[QUOTE="BenWal, post: 1595089, member: 97736"] My experience with illuminatined reticle is this. The brightness adjustment must be externally located on the scope. And offer very low light adjustment whereas the reticle doesn’t blind you in near dark conditions. I wouldn’t be without one after getting accustomed to them in SFP . Next, a red dot aiming point is perfect for almost any game I shoot. There is no busy-ness going on with the view. Thirdly, if you install a custom ballistic turret for elevation and windage you don’t need anything else. I have tried many other arrangements and after nine years and a half dozen scopes later this is what works for me and it is simple. The ballistic range finder is paired to the scope and ammunition load that I’m shooting. It will give me the actual dial to distance for a shot. I haven’t killed beyond 750 yards yet. But gradually inching my way toward a 1000 yard kill sometime. It’s been a lot of fun and very educational to learn, experience and eventually know what I desire with my shooting set up. I’m not proclaiming to have it all figured out, but this works flawless for me. I will close with saying , if I were depending on the reticle for hold over and windage I would certainly want a FFP scope to illuminate the need to adjust to maximum magnification for correct readings.
