Just ordered a USO 5-25 T-PAL w. MPR reticle (Thanks, Doc!). Not sure how much I needed it, but having owned an ST-6 and found the glass, knobs and reticle utterly superb, I definitely wanted one!
Debating whether to add illuminated reticle to the package.
My only (limited) experience w. illuminated reticle was in a night shoot training using a borrowed NF scope. The Illum just washed out my night vision. I hit the targets, but it wasn't comfortable or smooth or quick. But it was just a one-time use and I really didn't put the scope through its paces.
I would value people's input on pros and cons of an illuminated reticle. Use will be by LEO, primarily daytime <300 yd. in rural area. If I can get a grant for -22 -27 or Simrad, it may get used w. NV.
Thanks in advance, I am interested all kinds of input, esp. from fellow LEO M/O's.
