looking at picking up a 2.5-10x32 nxs with the NP-R2 ret. the local gun shop doesnt keep a whole lot of these lying around so id like to know if the reticle is illuminated like the velocity ones are, and how good these are at early morning/last light. also any thoughts on these or similiar scopes?
 
Re: NXS 2.5-10x32

aren't all nxs illuminated? The website and brochure is not very clear on that point, so I don't know for sure, but...

my NXS has the MLR (illuminated) and even though the brightness is not easy to adjust, it works well during the transition of lighting conditions early and late in the day

As JCH mentions, the left knob on the 2.5-10 is the illumination dial & provides 9 brightness settings. The brightest setting is not daylight visible, but it is insanely bright at dawn and dusk. My cell phone pics are horrible but here's the brightest setting aimted into a room lit with a single 60W bulb. BTW this is the NP-R2 reticle you ask about:
