[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 830240, member: 39764"] ...Some like it thick, some like it thin some like it in the pot, nine days old.... On illumination, the illumination isn't supposed to be blatantly visible even on the 10 setting, however, if you put the reticle against a dark background, it will show right up, like a deer in the woods, or an elk in the trees..... Had to show that to a shooting companion when he looked through mine and said... What illuminaqtion? I said, it's there on a dark background and proceeded to have him look into some trees..... I seldom turn mine on anyway. The cross hairs compare favoribly to the Leupy fine duplex IMO. I never had an illuminated scope until I bought a PST. Been hunting for years without. Not too crazy about the dial or the on-off-on clicks or the battery life but the optic is fine. Also, keep in mind that modern reticles are etched in the glass whereas old school reticles were actually physical threads laid on the glass and sealed in so the thicker the thread the easier to lay in. Up here in Michigan, deer hunting, all those has marks and numbers are basically meaningless because you don't shoot that far. A long shot might be 250 yards, but then being old school, we all practice Kentucky windage anyway....:) One of the group took an elk last year out west with his 7-08 using 'Kentucky Windage'. Hard habit to break I guess. [/QUOTE]
