[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2103245, member: 879"] I have the very same concerns as you and also hunt in an area where most of my shots are inside the woods; although some will be across cut overs and longer range. I actually avoided using my FFP scoped rifles whenever I was hunting inside the woods. But I tested out a FFP scope with illuminated reticle in the woods this season and could tell right away that it will work very well for what you are asking it to do. Mine is a Burris XTR II with an illuminated reticle that is really easy to see against dark backgrounds. I do have a couple of Bushnells with the G3 Reticle and I love the G3, but after looking at the illuminated Burris reticle in the woods, I really wish that both of my Bushnell G3's were illuminated like yours is. You have the right tool for close and far. But about 12-15X in low light--what enables you to see best in low light is having the largest "exit pupil" that you can get on the particular scope you are using. As a general rule, you begin to decrease that exit pupil as soon as you increase your magnification above 6X. You may be able to still see well in low light at 8 or 9X, but as you go higher, your light gathering and ability to make out details of your target in low light decreases. [/QUOTE]
