I can tell you it ain't cheap $$$. Its one of the Leupold Ultimate Slam scopes specifically for muzzle loaders/shotguns. The best I can tell, they just added the illuminated reticle (9 different types of reticles available, multiple intensity levels and will shut it self off after 5 minutes) and the SABR reticle "provides precise and distinct hold points from 50 to 300 yards, accommodating sabots with 2-pellet, 3-pellet, 12-guage, and 20-gauge ballistics". I just wish they would provide it in the 1x4 or 2x7 model, not sure I want to mount the 3x9.

IMO, a leupold or similar quality scope with a low end power of 1-2x with a decent sized objective & a heavy duplex will work fine for closer ranges from dawn to dusk (legal deer hunting hours). For true night hunting, it's a whole other story. I don't care for the haze around illuminated dots, but haven't tried the big $ versions.
