[QUOTE="704, post: 72985"] Regardless of the range finding retical; I always use the Laser ranger finder to range targets. I have Mildot, Shepherd, Burris Ballistic plex, Redfield accutrac and Horus vision scopes all with specialized reticals for Bullet drop compensation. All work fairly well but you must know the distance using a laser range finder. I have used the BDC reticals out to 600 meters with deadly accuracy, the HV retical out to 1000, but if I were only to have one scope and style retical I would get a good scope like, Leupold, Xotic Optics, Nikon, Night force or on the lower end Super sniper and Sightron and get a BDC elevation and windage turrets with data built in for my round that I shoot and maybe 2 or 3 different ones for different temperature and elevations. You can have them made at a decent price. So now all I have to do is range- dial and shoot, the mildots would be use for wind correction on the fly. [/QUOTE]
