[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 1451, member: 34"] Hello and welcome JBD If the extra dots or cross hairs are the thing for you, go for it by all means. Personally I don't like what I call a bunch of junk in my view when I'm looking through a scope. I don't want to see double or triple reticles, lots of dots for windage and elevation in the view. At my age, I need all the clear viewing through a scope I can get. I'm one who likes to click to the various laser ranged yardages from my pre-printed drop chart which is taped on the side of my rifle. I have tried most other scope setups even to the point of having 5 Dots put in the scope. I could go from 300,500,700,900 and 1100 yards with it. Problem was, I always had game that lined up in between the 900 and 1100 yard dots (for example) and I don't like to hold in between two dots when there is a 100 or 200 yard spacing in the middle. That to me is the UNKNOWN. I want to hold my target dot right on the animal EVERY shot. Multiple reticles and dots don't alweays allow you to do that. The only thing I wnat to see in ANY of my scopes is either a fine cross hair or a fine cross hair with a Target dot in the middle of it such as a Leupold. The unobstruted view of the animal and just that little dot is what I like to see. To each his own on this one but, I prefer clicking to ALL the ranges I shoot. It has worked for shots in excess of 2000 yards. Darryl Cassel [/QUOTE]
