[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 106840, member: 2011"] [ QUOTE ] the Mil-Dot system is just that a system for measuring objects to estimate range.

I'm shying away from any ballistic plex reticle for the same reason you are shying away from the mil dot? It must be a left/right brain thing. The only thing I would like to see added to a mil dot retical is a 1/2 Mil hash mark. Discerning .1 mil is pretty straight forward for .1, .2 and .8 and .9 for me as the mil dot is 0.1 mil from center to edge. Its the tenths around the 1/2 mil mark that are less discernable for me. The MP-8 reticle is nearly perfect to my way of thinking. Also, reticle in the first focal plane (FFP) is a must IMO. The size of the dot just helps hone things in a little better rather than covering the target. Also, ranging and mil dot reticles in the second focal plane leave a bit to be desired as it is difficult to ensure the power is set 'exactly' to the calibrated power. Does Burris make any FFP reticles or is there anyone that makes these modifications as Premier used to for Leuy's?? BTW, If I wouldn't spend so many $ on ADL furniture I could afford a good scope.
