Good scope of the money - Barska 3-9x42mm Illuminated Mil-Dot Sniper Rifle Scope

this is the third Braska scope I own. I bought it to put on a 300 Black Out Mini 14. I wanted an illuminated scope for hog hunting . this scope has an illuminated reticle. I would have preferred just illuminated cross hairs because he whole reticle lighting up screws up the night vision requiring an outside light to better see the target. the lit up cross hairs do show up good on a black hog in the semi darkness and a light overcomes the whole inside of the scope being lit up.
the scope is clear and holds its zero. you do have to keep checking the lock rings on the windage & elevation adjustments cause they seem to loosen by themselves.
