[QUOTE="RuffHewn, post: 18206, member: 1358"] I have the 2.5-10 with illum MP8. I primarily decided on the illuminated version becuase the reticle is 1st plane, vice 2d plane for the non-illum. My reticle lights green which does not affect my eye in near darkness. Decreasing magnification to 4x or less and the illum at it's lowest helps on this as well. I have looked through scopes with a red LED and it did seem to stop me from seeing any further than the reticle. I agree with the Jeff in Tx that the light gathering is such that an illum is not needed if any light at all can be put on the tgt. Primary advantage I have found with the illum, other than the obvious 1st focal plane, is with backlit tgts. [/QUOTE]
