Thanks, that's what we needed. Getting the actual text of the regulation posted always makes things easier to understand.
The regulation says "Illuminating" and not "Illuminated" so I would say illuminated scopes, pins and red dots are good to go. Unless your reticle projects it's illumination
The regulations are clearly about pit lamping and not optics. But it's always good to check.
Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!
