I absolutely love illuminated reticles.  Once you use them, you will never want to go back.

My favorite illuminated scopes are as follows (of the ones that I own and have used):

Nightforce NXS - has a great red reticle, but only one setting.
Nikon Monarch - has both red and green
Leupold VX-III - only red, but still good reticle.

The one that I am mildly happy with is the Bushnell Firefly.  It is not electronic, but rather "manual."  You take a flashlight and shine it through the scope.  Then, it glows for up to 30 minutes.  However, the reticle itself, during the day, is very, very thick, kinda like the German #4 - which I don't like.  Interestingly, during the night, the reticle seems to be the normal thinner size.

The one that I absolutely hate is the Elite 4200 on the 3.4x-10x-50mm with 30mm tube.  Even at its highest setting, you can barely see the illuminated dot.

Of all of the scopes, the best one of the money is the Nikon Monarch.  Jon at the Opticzone has them.  Take a look and see.  That's where I bought mine from.
