Howdy:
Looking for a low power scope with an illuminated reticle for an AR15 build for my wife & daughter. Purpose is hog hunting, likely in a low light situation. Behind the ear shots are preferred where we'll hunt, so a little magnification would be nice (up to 4x +/-).
I already own a Leupold VXR Hog scope (1.25-4x, illum, great low power scope) and two Leupold VXI 2-7x scopes (no illum) The VXI 2-7x are great, except the reticle can fade out in low light against a dark hog.
I would say my budget tops out at $350 for a reputable scope, as for a hundred bucks more I can get a Leupold VXR 3-9x for my own self and slap my beloved Leupold VXR Hog on the AR.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
