Hi you all

I live in a place (Argentina) where no "out of the shelf" comparison can be done by myself, so please I will really appreciate your help to clarify out my doubts on this ....


I am looking for a scope to be used mainly in extremely low light hunting conditions (at most moon light, which is allowed where I live) and I am decided to try out an illuminated reticle so as to have an "all terrain" scope...

Specifications, should have (at least) 6x and half of this power as a bottom magnification, lens quality as better as posible (limited by my budget, some 600 or a little more) and should withstand complainless the recoil of a 375 H&H... also, it appears to me that the iluminated dot is much more usefull than the iluminated cross, so the first one would be my election

So far (unless you make me know of better choices) I have narrowed my choices between the Burris signature 1,5-6x40

and the Bushnell 2,5-10x50 Elite 4200

But.....

Am I talking of two scopes in the same league of mechanical & lenses quality ? Which is better (even if anyone is slightly better than the other)?

Also I am concerned about three more things

a) the burris's electro (and/or bushnell's iluminated) dot width ... can anyone tell me their measures (in moa) ? (since I am afraid it will hide my target - heart or brain - at certain distances not allowing me to see exactly where am I shooting ...

b) the intensifier, how many positions do both of them have ? is the lowest one in both of them sufficient enough no to make me loose night vision capability ?

c) is the battery life pretty much the same in both models (i the same use conditions)?

Thank you all in advance !
