I'm needing about a 3-15 variable power scope with illumination for a predator bolt gun build. I likely would have bought the SWFA 3-15 to compliment the SWFA 5-20 I have, but the 3-15 is non-illuminated. I've looked some at Nightforce, but can't quit determine for sure if an MIL/MIL FFP is available. Most of the NF scopes I see are MOA/MOA or MIL/MOA.
I do really like the Leupold 3-18 Mark 6, but was very disappointed to learn the illuminated TMR is $1,000 more than the non-illuminated. ($2,800 total!!!!)The Leupold is awesome in size and turret design. I am a big fan of the Mark 6 so far; it's a super sweet little scope. I like it so much I am considering the non-illuminated very hard, but for low light hours of hunting (dawn/dusk) non illuminated is almost useless; the fine cross-hairs disappear in the foliage background. Even the single dot illumination is very effective in I dictating POA in these cases.
Does anyone out there have any good suggestions on a 3-15 power illuminated scope I'm the $1000-$2250 range or so? I have looked over the Bushnell and Vortex, but have a hard time venturing that direction so far.
