Re: illumiated reticules
Illumination is almost a must-have at night....as long as the illumination is not too bright.....some are better than others.

Re: illumiated reticules
Depends. The cheapest scope I currently have has an illuminated reticle. The one on my duty rifle does not.
The SN-3 I ordered does.
For me, it's insurance. I don't want a situation where I can ID the target but not pickup the reticle. I can't imagine many times this will happen, but on a FFP scope it's more important. That reticle gets real fine at lower power at night.
