I would probably never use an Aimpoint if hunting dangerous game were you might be confronted with an angry animal. If the red dot fails for some reason you are left with no reticule and a lump on your rifle where you can't use open sights. With a scope with reticule you still a reticule if the illumination fails. However so far my Aimpoint has worked perfectly for years especially in pine forests with lots of trees. With a well fitted stock the Aimpoint comes up naturally to the eye and as you use both eyes open when shooting, if the game starts to move you can easily follow and see potential obstructions. Some people wont use one because they believe that long shots are not possible, however shots to 150 yards present no problems. You just reduce the size of the dot by decreasing the intensity of the dot. Detractors should watch this:

In the Wild Boar Fever films Franz Albrecht performs some amazing long range shots on small running boar.
