I have a Schmidt & Bender 1.5 x 6 x42 Illuminated Reticle Scope on my .416 Remington and I absolutely love it and have used the illuminated reticle a number of times, both here in Alaska and in Africa and have found it, and the Schmidt & Bender scope in general, to be worth the extra money!

When I purchased this scope four or five years ago, Schmidt & Bender were the first to offer an illuminated reticle and that is one of the major reasons I ordered it but now many other scope makers offer illuminated reticles and though they add extra money to the price of the scope, for hunting dangerous game in low light they more than pay for themselves.

I have shot hundreds of rounds through my .416 with this scope and have never had any problems, even though in general it is not a particularily small scope and it has a rather large objective lens for a DG scope (42mm), which is excellent during low light conditions, and the illuminated recticle is varible so I can control the intensity of the illuminated reticle. At around US$1,500 it may not be necessary for everyone but for a person that makes their living backing up wounded animals in low light and/or thick conditions, I feel it is worth it and would recommend them to anyone.
