BSA Illuminated Mil-Dot ?

gunguy30_06
I am thinking of buying a BSA Platinum Target scope. this is not a post for people to tell me that i need to spend more on a scope, or you will get what you pay for. And that is excatly what i am doing. My question is, i am assuming that an illuminated scope needs batteries, and i would just like you guys to give me your opinions and experiences with illuminated scopes. Also i am planning of getting the 8-32x44. Thanks for the replys.

    Got one on something, think its on a AR15.
    For the money think around $140 is what I paid.
    Works good out to 300m
    I'm happy with it, for what it is.

    It will indeed need batteries. Be sure to carry spares, you know Murphy's law. JustC has used some scopes with an illuminated dot at the intersection of the crosshairs and thinks well of them. He finds them useful in low light and sometimes even good light. Living in the desert with a lot of days of sunshine I have tended to regard them as a a bit of a gimmick or perhaps useful in night hunting as in Europe. If you buy one, I would like very much to hear what you think.

    I don't have the illuminated reticle, but i just purchased a BSA Platinum Target Scope(8-32x44). I paid $100 for it at sportsmansguide.com slapped it on my brand new .243 and was mightly impressed at my results from a $100 scope. I have a Burris scope on another rifle and its safe to say that the BSA is more than worth the money you pay for it. Anyways to get to the point, after taking it out to the range and dialing it in my only complaint was that it is a little dark on the higher powers. Because of this I would think that the illuminated reticle would take care of that problem and give you a powerful and reliable scope for 1/4 of the price you would pay for a burris or leupold.

    BSA is a decent scope company. Not the best by any means, but mangeable if money is tight. I have a Platinum 6-24x40 and it works great on my 10/22.

    I use an illum. ret. Burris for hunting yotes on dark, WI winter nights. With a snow background at midnight, using star light and ambient light from a city 15 miles away, my burris will gather enough light that the illum ret. is unnecessary. But, when the snow is sparce that little red dot makes all the difference. One battery is all I needed for the whole season. I highly recommend it for night hunting, but have never had a need to use it during regular hunting hours due to the outstanding light gathering ability of my Burris Signature.
