[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 1335956, member: 1133"] I have used a number of Nikon optics and loved them all for their applications, in fact the 2X pistol scope is the best 2X available these days IMO, for it's features...and the 2.5-8 handgun is very good also. Admittedly I'm not terribly fond of the BDC reticle design although it works well enough that I don't dislike it. Ian McMurchy who was highly respected here on this forum designed it. One of the things that's not often brought up that I appreciate in a reticle design is a plex subtension that's wide enough and easily interpolated for long-range when applying windage calcs. Nikon has done a pretty good job of this whether it's by design or not. I have used this in comps and it has served me well over the years running turrets for elevation and reticle for windage. Might be nice to have a windage system on the plex portion of the reticle that's 20 MOA post to post and divided evenly with a short line stadia at the 5 MOA mark both sides of reticle axis. Might even eliminate the windage target-style turret to save money if desired. Be sure and maintain the excellent Tech Specs pgs. of the catalog. They serve the technical shooter well, especially the subtension pgs. Love your optics designs really. Tell Nikon, "well done". [/QUOTE]
