[QUOTE="col48, post: 105105, member: 5641"] [ QUOTE ] Advice appreciated. I'm going to purchase a VX-III for the 300. I cannot decide on a 3.5 X 10 with the B&C reticle or the 4.5 X 14 and a custom target turret. Rifle is primarily an elk rifle. Shooting 200 grain ABs at 2875 fps. 500 yards is a very long shot for me (Been blowing up milk jugs a 400 consistenly with this rifle). I decided against the 4.5 X 14 with the B&C reticle because I don't want to limit myself to a 14X scope in order to use the reticle. FOV is too tight. The ability to aim dead on at longer ranges as well as dial in to the exact yardage is attractive. Then again, the built in hold-over offered by the B&C reticle is dead on for my load according to the charts and my shooting. What to do???? [/ QUOTE ] i have been rolling this one around in my head for some time now,and have come to the conclusion that it is better to dial in the range,than use a ret,as the ret will only be spot on the mark at given rangers (IE, if the beast is between the dots,and you have to hold between them.)but if you need to make a quick follow up shot,then the ret is better (as you can use it quicker ) but i am sure that someone better experienced will give a lot better explanation. thats how i now see it.
