[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1015719, member: 34084"] The answer to your first question is no. An SFP reticle that has accurate holdoffs at 10X won't be accurate at 20X. Regarding your scope choices, 6-24X is a lot of magnification for predators. If you're calling them, they should be within 200 yds or so. 4.5-14X would be ample and 4.5X would give you a wider field of view for critters that walk right up to you. Even a 3-9X would work - that's what I use most of the time. Millet and Vortex Crossfire scopes are marginal mechanically, and the optics are prone to high glare and have low contrast, especially at magnifications above about 15X. Personally, I would look at a lower magnification Burris scope at a slightly higher price range. Or I would look for a used Vortex Diamondback, Leupold VX-2, Burris E1, etc. Lots of opportunities in the used market. [/QUOTE]
