I have several Leupold scopes with dot reticles of different diameters and will caution you about using dot reticles in hunting conditions. Unless you go with a large dot, you will have problems finding it in dark environments and then you lose the aiming precision a dot is intended to provide. They are best used for precision target shooting. Even Leupold's "fine duplex" reticle can be challenging to use in a thick wooded area - the standard duplex is far easier to use as it can always be "found."
