I've shot with my 3200 in relatively low light (late afternoon on a cloudy day) and never noticed any image degradation. If you make a habit of hunting during civil twilight that 5% might be worth it.
Mildots are really a pain to use. First you need a good estimate of the size of your target. Then there's math to be done that tells you how far away said target probably is. Then you have to make adjustments to your scope based on that math. Finally you get around to firing. Unless you've got a calculator-brain, carrying a laser rangefinder actually SAVES time even though it means juggling your grip on the gun.
I've been enamored with the idea of BDC reticles. Shepherd, in particular, makes one that I love the idea of, calibrated for M2 ball. When Chuck Taylor was here for the sniper class, I asked him about it. His comment was succinct: "too busy."
My father-in-law has hunted since he was a child in the Dakotas, everything from prairie dogs to elk. He is now a geezer in Texas, where pigs are considered a nuisance animal and are exempt from just about every hunting law. He's friends with several ranchers who beg him to come and eradicate the hog populations on their property. Over the years, he's developed some pretty strong ideas about what works effectively and reliably. When it comes to hunting scopes for hogs, he favors fixed 4x40. A low power scope with a large objective actually provides a little bit of light amplification, extending his hunting time past nautical twilight! And given the size of hogs and the terrain in which they like to roam, it's a rare thing to get a shot at one too far away for a 4 power to be effective. Anyway, a summary of Little Eddie's thoughts on scopes can be found
here.
I did recently help a family who had inherited a sporterized m1903 that the great-grandfather had used as a hunting rifle. It had a fixed 4-power scope with a fairly small objective. With that gun and M2 ball, we were able to approach MOA at 100 yards, and to consistently hit the 200 and 300 yard steel. The 300 required a little hold-over, no more. We didn't have line-of-sight to the 440, unfortunately.
Anyway, my general view on svopes is that "less is more." I favor fixed over variable power, and the lowest magnification that will work for the job. I bought the 10x Elite specifically for that Chuck Taylor class, when we were to be shooting out to 600 yards. I think I've posted the results elsewhere on this forum, but suffice to say that I was the most under-equipped person there in every sense of the word yet was a solid middle-of-the-pack performer at every distance.
