Illumination horrible in daylight. - Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm 1in Tube Second Focal Plane Rifle Scope

I wanted an illuminated center. While this does have one, in daylight it is useless. I am used to other optics, especially prisms, that have great illumination in daylight, and I am talking about sunrise daylight around 8am when deer hunting in Wisconsin winter. I have tried different batteries as well. At very low light conditions, like 6:30am when you can finally shoot, it is OK, but only at full brightness. The lower adjustments are really only good when it is almost too dark to hunt. I also have a sig whiskey that the center dot is clearly visibly illuminated in full daylight.

Other than that, it works.
