I have one in the mil xt. It’s a little thin at 2x. I keep it at 6-8 up close.

I have the Mil-XT and Mil-C versions of this scope. I used the Mil-C for hunting this year, and found the illuminated reticle on 2.5x to be very usable in lower light. If it was regular day light, I'd zoom to at least 4x to get the reticle to appear thicker.
I did not try it in bright sunlight. I'm going to give the "occluded eye method" at 2.5x a try on a bright day at the range sometime before next hunting season. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By phlegm: I understand that reservation, based on the internet feedback. Having used these side by side with 4-32x50s and ATACRs, I can find the limitations if I go looking. From every practical angle with an actual scope, I've experienced no drawbacks with these scopes regarding eyebox. i think it's time to get one ordered up so i can have a look through one myself |

The illumination is not daylight bright (RDS bright), but it’s subjectively daylight visible. By that it means that under cloudy or lower light conditions you can see the illumination, but in broad daylight and bright sunlight, you won’t see it very well unless you’re aiming at a black or dark background. It’s not the same type of illumination setup as the 1-8x.
As others have stated, the reticle is a bit thin at 2.5x, but you can still use it for aiming. Just not milling. |
