I'm half considering getting myself a scope with an illuminated reticle because I'm easily amused....
But I've no idea if they're actually any good?

"manabeknives"Do you hunt(shoot) in the early morning or at dusk? These are the times when you can lose the reticle to the background and lose your shot. During these times it is important to have an illuminated reticle.
It is my opinion that the average person doesn't need an illuminated reticle. Most of their shooting is done during daylight hours.
When I first started buying scopes, I was convinced that I need an illuminated reticle....now I find that I barely use them.
If you do a lot of low light shooting, then i would get one...otherwise I think they are just added weight to the scope. If I have the option, I usually go with a reticle that is NOT illuminated
