Sightron makes a good scope. I am not crazy about the length. I don't like scopes that I have to pull the rear sight to install. I never shot that kind of a cross hair set up either. German cross hair.

Now I do own and shoot illuminated scopes. Traditions had one on sale once for $49.00. And being someone that loves to play with things, I bought one. You know what.. (it was a long scope though) that is a good scope. During the day with the cross hairs turned off, it shot perfect. One very late afternoon, much as you would find at the end of the day hunting, I turned on the cross hairs, and WOW!! what a difference. I mean you could see the shadow of what you wanted to shoot. All you had to do was center the cross hair and fire.

I also have a Bushnell 3200 with FireFly. For those not aware of fire fly.. you take your flashlight, mag light, pen light, a light. Hold your hand over the muzzle end of the bell and shine the flash light into the scope for thirty seconds. When you look through the scope, the cross hairs are neon green. And they stay that way for a long time. No batteries on the scope, just the flashlight of course. And Bushnell quality. A nice scope, but it has fat cross hairs. But you get used to that. I like the scope for late afternoons.. It is on my White .451.
