[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 18468, member: 3"] Sodbuster I take it you're not a farmer but that could be an incorrect guess. I like the little reference to the reptilian brain and wondered where you picked that up. My immediate thought was Law Enforcement, but then perhaps medical fields somewhat??? If you're staying inside 600 yards and shooting a flat(er) shooter, you could easily learn the hold-off on a MilDot reticle. You mentioned you "ranged" (range finder) so apparently you won't use the reticle for ranging as a necessity. Deer, 12" kill-zone, hold center mass and use a 200 yard zero. 300 yards-first mildot down, 400 yards-second mildot down, 500 yards-third and 600 yards-forth mildot down. This is a rough startpoint (308 Win type cartridge) and you can change your initial zero (out further) to get a better fit to the dots. I believe meichele recently posted a chart of ranges transposed onto a mildot reticle. MilDot reticle is like a Swiss Army knife, lots of uses and you're going to start by only using the toothpick, later you'll have the option to use the rest of the system. Some of the other reticles are more like a toothpick, a nice tool but a little limited in it's use as a plumb bob or spoon. [/QUOTE]
