[QUOTE="Patton63, post: 1638940, member: 87882"] There are a number of questions to ask yourself when thinking about the reticle/scope you might need. - when you say long distance, how far do you mean? This will influence the magnification range. - long range target or hunting? - do you intend to use your reticle for hold overs or will you dial for elevation? - do you intend to use the reticle to hold for wind? - do you like a crowded reticle (e.g., Christmas tree style reticles) or a cleaner look? - Mil or MOA? - First or second focal plane? Answering these (and others I am sure I am forgetting at the moment) will help guide you to the right answer for you - as opposed to what might work for someone else. Good luck - it’s always a lot of fun to piece this together and shop for a scope. [/QUOTE]
