[QUOTE="Russ661, post: 1682241, member: 106052"] I would suggest that if you are truly unsure if your illuminated reticle scope is legal or not email the DOW field office in the area you intend to hunt and initiate a conversation with an officer. Ask specifically if illuminated reticle scopes are legal for hunting when used with a rifle. If the reply you receive is unclear or ambiguous in any way rephrase the question and try again until you get a crystal clear answer. Be respectful and not argumentative. Ask the officer what his/her name and rank is. Print out the entire conversation and carry it with you when you hunt. If you get checked and the officer is of the opinion that the scope is illegal show him/her the transcript. If the officer insists on writing you up you should go to court and show the transcript to the judge. I believe the chances are excellent that the charge will be dismissed based upon the transcript and the obvious effort you put into trying to stay within the law. Disclaimer: I am not an attorney and you should use your own best judgement. [/QUOTE]
