Black reticle on a black hogs at night don't work, ask me how I know.
Leupold however, is a little TOO proud of their illuminating scopes pricewise (at least for my tastes compared to other offerings).
If price is no object, and you're a diehard Leupold fan. Well...they have illuminated, what are you waiting for?
I wanted illuminated ballistic plex reticle, with a lifetime warranty, and a scope that is double sprung, to handle the recoil of the 450 (and last), at a more modest price. My vote goes to the Burris FullField E1 3-9x40 Riflescope with Illuminated Ballistic Plex E1 Reticle Model 200322. It's street price for these features is hard to beat.
Didn't see a need for an elevation dial for a host of reasons that I wont get into here unless asked. But will divulge, since 300yrds is 'bout the max with this round, and most animals will be taken at 200yrds (or less, by me, with this equipment). The Plex is a quick alternative way to get off an accurate shot without monkeying with dials.
