[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 180474, member: 25"] I have shot with the illumination on several times out to 700-1000 yards and the target is not impaired by the illuminated reticle. You may or not be able to see the target depending on how dark it is, but if you can see it you will certainly be able to put the cross-hair intersection on it nicely. As for what model, I believe the optimum is the 3.5-15x50 with the NPR-2 reticle, suggest you wait until spring and get the much rumored Zero-stop elevation turret as they are the cat's-butt. Very simply that turret enables you to return to your original zero point perfectly every time. As for mounting system, look at Badger Ordnance and Near Precison for some of the nicest tactical mounts made - Badgers in steel and also aluminum, Richard Nears in stainless and they are superb. Also Nightforce sells good ones and Glen Seekins from Seekins Precision, again Nightforce in steel or aluminum, Glen's are aluminum and very well machined. There are others but these are probably the top contenders right now. They are not cheap, but neither was your scope. You will need a medium height ring set and an Eagle stock pack on your rifle to get the cheek-weld up a bit. Good luck. A Nightforce on a Model 7 is going to look strange, pretty big scope for a small rifle but you would enjoy shooting a Nightforce on any rifle! [/QUOTE]
