This probably has nothing to do with the subject liverwort inquired about, but the only illuminated reticle scope I own is in an ATN thermal that is mounted on my .300 Blackout. It is used strictly for deer and hog control, in our crops. The brightness of the reticle has never bothered me or my grandson, but it being a thermal it's a whole 'nuther ball game. He made a fine shot with it night before last. His front yard overlooks an irrigated peanut field and he killed a hog with it at somewhere between 350 and 400 yards, from his front porch. DRT.

I have never cared for "fancy" reticles for deer hunting, which I do no longer for sport. I have always preferred either very fine crosshairs for crows and such, or a duplex reticle.


May God bless America and those who defend her.

My thinking is that when the light is fading and the pupils are naturally open wider it makes sense that if you put something bright in front of them they are going to constrict. The target isn't illuminated so it is going to fade. Are these scopes a gimmick? I don't turn them on anymore and when I can't see the crosshairs I go home. Thanks.

The illuminated dots on my two Schmidt and Benders and one Swarovski work great....they are all adjustable for low light.
