[QUOTE="CBS, post: 2842676, member: 11718"] "Illumination adds weight. Not only weight that your carrying, but can throw the balance of how your rifle handles." What scope have you used where the illuminated model made a noticeable difference in the way the rifle handles relative to the non illuminated model? Schmidt and Bender does for me but only because I'm left handed and the location of their illumination gets in the way of bolt manipulation. If I were right handed or using a gas gun it would have no noticeable affect. There appear to be a number of absolutes stated in this thread. Depending on the expected utilization of the weapon ALL scopes can be very useful. And I would have to disagree with the assertion that 5x on the end is not suitable for hunting. Just because it isn't suitable for you and your hunting needs does not make that blanket statement universally valid. [/QUOTE]
