I've been doing heaps of research on scopes lately and in my travels read a couple of Chuck Hawks articles lamenting the fact that most hunting rifles are over scoped and the fact that scope manufacturers are moving away from light weight, lower magnification scopes.
I think they have a valid point.
While I would like to have an illuminated reticle, it means at the very minimum a 50% increase in weight, and often a busy reticle which to my mind defeats the purpose of an IR.
The Vx3HD in 2.5-8 would be my pick, however for the money (assuming I can find one) it doesn't offer much advantage to my Viper in 3-9. (3 oz's and a zero lock turret)
