[QUOTE="boattailed bandit, post: 917914, member: 69647"] Okay so I toyed with the idea of getting a revenge a long time ago but opted with a nikon prostaff with mil-dot and couldn't be happier. However I have been looking at the revenge again and I just get more and more involved with it. I like the idea that I can bracket a deer and get my range quick and easy with no math. However there are things that concern me regarding the scope. How accurate does it range? From my understanding you bracket the deer, and a horizontal line rises or falls to correspond with a range indicator on the reticle, much like their tombstone version in vietnam. Now my question is how easy/hard is it to distinguish exactly where your at? For instance if I bracket a deer and the line falls between 3 and 4, how easy/hard is it to estimate where your exactly at with your range? To me there would be a big difference between 325 yards and 348 yards, or maybe there isn't and it would be easier to tell than I give it credit.
