    Me thinks it will do the job very well.
    Two thick horizontal posts and one thick bottom vertical post and a fine cross hair...perfect for lamping..

    I`d go for it..

    hey one that i use for same purpose with the same reticle..dont think u could find a better scope. brilliant light gathering and crystal clear lense quality. and its the 1 inch tube model i have. paid somewhere round 600 euro for it about eight years ago..u will not be disappointed..as most foxes are inside 200yrds 8 mag is grand and no zoom or parallax too be messing with either at night..

    The no. 7 is the reticle I'd go for in that scope as well. As Dwighet says, that's a good price, don't let it pass ya by.
