[QUOTE="wyosteve, post: 2837719, member: 86709"] A couple final thoughts-my computer shut down before I could finish. The illuminated reticle in the Hawke scope was horrible for the conditions we had. It was a circle with crosshairs in the circle and the entire circle and crosshairs would illuminate and made it very hard to see a defined aiming point. The Firedot is my 'go to'. The dot is small enough and the illumination can be adjusted so it made for a perfect aim point. Without the Firedot, I can confidently say, I probably would not have taken the shot at that hour. I faced conditions on the Texas aoudad hunt where if I didn't have the firedot, I could not have taken the shot. I don't know why the other gentlemen's bear wasn't killed so can't comment on his caliber, but Dan and I were pleased with the bullet performance on our rifles. The recovered part of Dan's bullet had the 'base' left, but the lead had peeled off, probably from going through the shoulder bone. I'm already thinking of another hunt with Jake and I'll have a black bear tag in my pocket as well if I make it up again. [/QUOTE]
