anyone hunting w/ one, just saw one 1.5-4 for the first time kinda cool, that scope on a 450 marlin would be a good moose gun Iwas wondering about what their duability

I would like to put one on a BLR I own. I posted this on AR and a few of the posters did not like them at all. Reticle covered up too much of the target and the scope was dark were some of the comments. I have looked thru a 3-9x40 accupoint and it was very bright but decided to purchase the Zeiss 3-9x40
