I've got the Simmons WTC 3-10X50 if that helps. I use the HMR either during the day (mainly crow busting) or evening (mainly rabbits) so no use for an IR, also, as the HMR shoots flat out to 140 m I don't need the milldot / ballistic drop type of reticle. If you plan to do a lot of walking round your permissions with the rifle don't forget to consider the weight of the scope as well (I've been there with the hubble telescope as a scope - all I came home with was a hernia )
