I have owned a few 3xxx series Elite's and 4200's, been good scopes!! To me for a biggame rifle the Firefly reticle is Gimmicky! The fact it must be charged with a flashlight is one reason but on my elites I can't recall to many times where I would need illuminated reticle under legal big game hunting hours. For a varmit or night hunting setup it might have some use.
