Bushnell 2x7x32 - Bushnell AR Optics 2-7x32 Rimfire Rifle Scope w/ Drop Zone-22LR BDC Reticle

I purchased this scope with the idea I would use it for all around 22 rimfire use. Once I got it I realized I needed the illuminated version. This scope provides plenty of light gathering ability for its price (I usually opt for illuminated Schmidt and Bender) but after the sun goes down any non-illuminated scope will not provide targeting ability with a source of light. Many situations occur that you can see the target but can not define the reticle. I personally only purchase illuminated cross-hairs with the idea if I don't need the illumination I can just not turn it on. I am not big on a illuminated cross-hair so bright that you need to be able to see it on a snowy bright sunny day, this logic makes no sense to me.
