I've got the Leupold vari-x III, 4.5X14X50 illuminated, the one thing I don't like about this scope is the light switch has no stop on it, so it can get turned on by just slipping it into a case. batteries are too $$$ to leave them on. Here is a scope my brother bought this year, might be worth a look.
