Hmm. Lately I've really been thinking of getting a 1-4X that doesn't have illumination, yet has a reticle that sticks out enough that I could use it with both eyes open. I got to try a circle X reticle on a 2-7X awhile back, and based on that experience it seems like it would work quite well shooting both eyes open at a decent pace (1X at least).
Anyone use a reticle like this with out illumination on 1X?

Only the pricey illuminated options seem to be bright enough for the day time, and I don't shoot much at night (if at all). I'm looking for something sub $350, and the Leupold shotgun scope with the circle X reticle seems like a good bet, even if it does give up some accuracy. It's even available in FDE, which I thought was kind of odd for a no frills shotgun line.
Rhino and anyone else that uses/used a non illuminated 1-4X, do you still think it's a viable option for quick and medium range shots?
The luxury of freedom was not free.
