If you are going to hunt at night, I would suggest the Trijicon or the Meopta for their optic quality in low light.

I've got the 3.5-10x44 4C Meopro.

I use it in all light conditions to very very lowlight and moonlight. I do get some flare back from the illumination but only when you've got it dialled up to much for the conditions.I use it on the lowest setting a fare bit. I have no complaints about the illumination. its fast on target. I won't be worried about having battery, they last for ages, its not like they die every 2nd or 3rd hunt. I'm still on my first battery and routinely forget to turn my illum off after a hunt, pick it up next time and think oh no , look through and yep still going strong.

They're not night vision , sometimes dark is just dark, saying that in those last few mintues of fading light you can still see into those dark shadows hundreds of yards away. Moonlight I can see no worries.

Got the 44mm mounted in lows. Not too bulky and weight is ok.

The other two I was looking at were the trijicon accupoint or VR-X, I'm sure any of these three would do the job.

goog luck with your purchase.

I had the Accupoint (Green Dot) and during the day the reticle would turn silverish, at night with a light source the tritruim would wash out, and the reticle would disappear against dark backgrounds.

I have a VXR which works nicely since the reticle is etched and bold. I can see it well enough that I don't even use the LED illumination.
