Thread: Where is my dream scope?

I have been fortunate to have used several good scopes over my hunting and shooting years. Started with a little Bushnell 2 1/2 fixed power post and crosshair on a 303. Shot plenty of deer, pigs, chamois and tahr with that setup out to over 400 yards. Since then I've had Budhnell 3-9 *40 , Leupold M8 *4x, vari-x11 3-9*40, various vxiii and vx3 and vx5, vxr, mod1 patrol and ffp bushnells.
My favourites have been Leupold 2.5-8*36 with b+c reticle and capped turrets and still are.
I've had illuminated reticles in vxr and vx5 and really like them too.
I have done a fair amount of successful competative range shooting out to 600 with several scopes and calibres including 308, 6.5*55, 308 norma magnum and 7*61 sharpe and hart.
I have found no real advantage in any scope larger than the 2.5-8* 36 capped turrets 1" tube Leupold at ranges and for hunting with the exception that a very slightly illuminated dot scope in very dull bush or dawn / dusk hunting is a real asset.
Now; Leupold do not make a 1"tube 2.5-8*36 scope with illuminated reticle. Does anyone here know if any manufacturer of highly reliable scopes can fit this dream? I am not interested in 30mm tubes and big magnification.
I await with interest any responses which meet my dream criteria.
