I get the utility. I just used a Hill Country Rifle Sako 85 in7mm Rem Mag for bushbuck. The scope was a 2-5-15x44 Swaro Illuminate Gen II.

Loved the range of magnification and the illuminated reticle.

But if you are hunting with a master piece ... why draw a hitler mustach on the stateu of David?

If utility and function are #1 then they are. If esthetics are integral to the value of the hunt then I think compromise is a four letter word.
