I have a couple of scopes with illuminated crosshairs. When I turn them on in low-light situations I can't see the target. Someone told me if I buy a better scope that won't happen. I'm not sure that is true and wonder if the problem is my eyes. My thinking is that when the light is fading and the pupils are naturally open wider it makes sense that if you put something bright in front of them they are going to constrict. The target isn't illuminated so it is going to fade. Are these scopes a gimmick? I don't turn them on anymore and when I can't see the crosshairs I go home. Thanks.
Either these are old tech without brightness controls (which are near worthless for its intended use), or you didn't know you have a brightness control. Which is the case?
