[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 479133, member: 319"] Hmm. Premier was putting the Gen II in Leupolds nearly 10 years ago (or longer, I can't remember exactly when they started). The S&B P4 and IOR MP-8 have been around as long as I can remember. I can't remember if NF had the MLR before the R1 or not. What's with dividing things into 3rds? It seems very unnatural to me. 1/2's, 1/4's, etc always seem natural to me. I'm just curious where that came from. Anyway, with a line reticle with 1/2 mil marks, half way in between is .25. Slightly less is .2. Right next to the mark is .1. Slightly more than 1/2 is .3. Right next to the 1/2 mark is .4. It's really much easier to see visually than it is to describe in words. Some reticles with dots (and some other things you will see very soon) give you a solid edge of the dot .1 on each side which can actually make things easier by further reducing the space in the middle. But you're right, of course, either can be used well. I also agree a nice BDC reticle can be faster than anything else and plenty accurate to the mid ranges if done right. With a straight MOA or Mil reticle you gain adaptability, versatility and precision out to long range if you take your time...but you do give up some speed in the close-medium ranges. [/QUOTE]
