[QUOTE="mgood, post: 1101048, member: 91188"] I've been having this same argument with myself. It is difficult to see a black reticle on a charcoal gray pig standing in the shadows. Not just at first or last light, but my eyes are adjusted to bright sunlight and I'm trying to see into a darker area. It may take me a moment to find the crosshair and get it lined up. With just the illuminated center dot in my scope, it draws my eye to it quickly. I'd like to put an illuminated reticle on another rifle (or two), but I keep looking at the specs and see that it does weigh more than the non-illuminated version of the same scope. But there are probably better ways to shed a few ounces. [/QUOTE]
