[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 202471, member: 1133"] Exactly--save a little weight and just get the L. 1200 CRF. It's my favorite these days. Your idea of using the TMR reticle will work OK but as u go further down the reticle for elevation, windage then becomes less accurate. If u're not afraid to apply math to establish a more accurate reticle to trajectory system of reference to only 750 yds. or so, then here's what i would do. I'd get the std. Duplex reticle and use it as a ballistic reticle to it's limits. The x-hair to plex post tip is 2.6 MOA @ 14X. That'll get u beyond 500 yds. for 10 mph windage and 350-375 for elevation with say a 140 BT @ 3100 fps. 250 yd. zero @ 4000 ft. SAP. I have interpolated beyond a plex post tip to make shots in windy conditions before and it's not hard to do (a 300 yd. shot on a coyote in 10 mph 3 o'clock wind using a 17 MIV XP-100 handgun using a windage zero of 1.3 "plex units" with the optic i was using at the time, for example). I'd have a turret installed either BDC or the std. tgt. turret Leupold offers. I'd calculate, and test the zeros using the reticle to it's limit and then turret elevation using the reticle's center axis for addtl. turret range, plex post tip for windage. Put it all in a Butler Creek scope cap cover for quick efficient reference. Another idea would be to use the Varmint Hunter reticle using the same system as i described above. It has an excellent windage reference system and will get u beyond 750 yds. using turret for elevation, reticle for windage easily. [/QUOTE]
