Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4HD non-illuminated vs illuminated TMR reticle

Hey all:

I've been giving the Leupold scopes a hard look. On paper, this one seems to be exactly what I'm looking for:

My intent is to use it for daytime target shooting from 250-1000 yards. After studying the reticle subtensions, the non-illuminated TMR has a much thinner aiming point that the illuminated version of the same reticle (it's twice as thick).

I'm curious to hear what people's experiences are with the non-illuminated TMR. It is thin enough to hit 1000 yards on larger steel targets (like 12 inches+)?

Thanks!
I run the illuminated TMR (the thick one with the center dot) on all of my precision rifles and have had no problems hitting the targets you describe.

My spotting scope has the non-illuminated TMR (the thin one with the open center), and while I do not prefer its thinness, I assess that it would also be sufficient for hitting the targets you describe.
