[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1618581, member: 54178"] BDC reticles are "great" IF: 1. you shoot the same ammo used for making the BDC reticle 2. you shoot at the same altitude used for the BDC reticle 3. you shoot at the same temperature used to make the BDC reticle 4. Your rifle muzzle velocity is the same as use to make the BDC reticle. "BDC reticles lie to you after 300 yards." (From an article in SNIPER magazine) For a good and relatively inexpensive scope I highly recommend a SWFA SS 3 - 15 x 42 with FFP reticle, mil/mil turrets/reticle and side focus knob. The glass is [I]very[/I] good for the $700. price (as good as my $1,300. Bushnell ERS competition scope). The reticle is easy to use for hold over, especially if your laser rangefinder is set to read in mils. Why are SWFA scopes such a great buy? 1. no middlemen 2. no advertising 3. "Made in Japan", NOT China! 4. lenses held in cassettes for maximum recoil resistance in [I]both [/I]directions Otherwise go to $1,000.+ scopes from Bushnell, Vortex, Leupold etc. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
