Scvopes with illuminated reticles
Does anyone know what scope companies make scopes with illuminated reticles. I would prefer one with the entire reticle illuminted but would consider one with just the center area illuminated. I want one in the 1.5-6x to 2-7x magnification area. My son wants one for a 30-30win rifle. I'm not looking for a real cheap one but would prefer to keep it $350.00-$400.00 max. Thanks[?]

BSA and Trijicon are two that comes to mind. 0 -
I have a Tasco with a lighted reticle, came on a rifle I bought so I don't know what it retailed for but it's not a super high dollar scope, I'm sure.
It's marked "ER 39-40 Made in Japan Pat Pend" and a silver stag head on the left side, no other markings other than 3-9 x 40 on the tube. it lights up the reticle only, glows red, no adjustment other than off and on. I like it in the early morning and late evening, seems as if the deer in South Texas have wrist watches and know exactly when half an hour after sundown is although occasionally one comes in a bit early. That's when the illumination pays off.

Burris signature select series with the E-dot are what I use. When hunting in low light, which is when you will be using the illumination, most of the cheaper scopes that illuminate the entire retical will be too bright and cause the pupil to become smaller, thus eliminating what you see OTHER THAN the retical.
The e-dot only lights a dot in the middle and has a high and low setting. The cheaper stuff has a lot of settings so it seems they would be low enough, but I found that the first setting is quite often too bright for low light hunting.
Check out the Burris,..you will buy more of their products. I sold my Leupolds for Burris signatures.0 -
