1.25x4 on an AR carbine is great, glass is very good!

I googled the 2-7, 12oz and a pretty good FOV. I'm considering one for a dedicated woods gun.

The illuminated dot is perfect at last light. Cut it on it's softest setting that way you don't get back drowning as I call it.

I use my Kimber Montana as a light handy short range woods gun. I have a Kahles 2-7 on it now but I would like to try the ILL reticle. I likely won't ever be hunting at elevation but the light weight is nice walking up the hills and hollows.

A 2-7 with either duplex or #4 would be mighty fine on a "bush hog".
