[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1165186, member: 54178"] I have a Bushnell ERS 3.5 - 24 X 50 tactical scope with the H59 reticle and I love it for fast follow up shots and for windage holds at long ranges. STATEMENT OF FACTS (using a Horus type "Christmas tree" mil reticle) Holding is better than dialing for speed Holding is the EQUAL of dialing for accuracy Holding greatly reduces wear on turret gearing There are those who erroneously tell us that dialing keeps us looking through the "optic center" of the scope. This is patently UNTRUE. It only LOOKS like we are still in the optical center. Ex. If I dial a 2.2 mil right and 1.6 mil down correction then my center crosshairs will optically be in the same place as the same correction on a properly zeroed "Christmas tree" reticle (in the same make and model of scope). It has to be to make a hit! So that "optic center" statement is from one who has not thought through the physics of holding and dialing. BTW, as much as I love my H59 reticle I would now prefer the newer H25 reticle for several reasons. [/QUOTE]
