I've got a Burris 1 x 4 MTAC with an illuminated reticle. Tonight I noticed what it looks like from the front in the dark: which would be a pretty good place to shoot a if an armed intruder in the dark wanted to put one in my skull. Sure my light would leave a nighttime intruder seeing spots, but lights are a target too. Now I'm considering removing this LPVO from any sort of defensive setup that might be used at night.
I suppos I could leave it turned off and just use the etched reticle w/a
light in the dark, but that seems contrary to the purpose. Do other LPVOs do this or do higher end versions have a way to shield illumination from showing through scope front? Is this an issue anyone has considered to be a problem in a defensive scenario? Possible solutions?
