I was perusing some old threads and found this
http://www.hollandguns.com/downloads/ARTScopeBrochure.pdf
I read that the reticle is calibrated at the max magnification, so say I have a 4.5 x 14 power Lupy I would need to dial it up to 14 power to use the MOA hash marks on the ART reticle, right?
Also, I am not concerned about using the reticle for range finding.
So, what I'm thinking is that I like the balistic turrets the best, however I have to dial the range, which takes time.
The reticle it faster, except I would have to dial my scope to 14 power, and then remember or look at a card to see what my bullet drop is and calculate what hash mark to use? And what if 14 power was too high for the range I am shooting? The way I understand it, calibrated reticles are for shorter distances than target turrets?
I'd say if I could use the reticle at any magnification the decision would be easy.
What do you guys think?
Bill
