[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2368981, member: 54178"] I use a G3 lighted reticle in my Bushnell Elite LRTS 4.5 - 18 x 44 hunting scope. It is a "small mag tree" reticle just right for long distance hunting. I hold based on the mils my Bushnell ARC 1 Mile rangefinder binoculars recommend (with a trued hold list inside my ocular scope cap). The scope cap list hold wins if it is much different than the rangefinder hold. Windage hold is my best guesstimation. BUT... the best hold AND windage scope combo is the SIG/Sauer Sierra6 BDX scope and BDX rangefinder (monocular or binocular) and a Kestrel 5700 with Hornaday's 4DOF ballistic engine. THAT combo is virtually unbeatable because (once you input the correct set up data) both the rangefinder and Kestrel 5700 will Bluetooth a firing solution to the scope and the proper hold AND windage dots will be illuminated. PLUS that scope line has a "LevelPlex" illuminated cant indicator at each end of the horizontal crosshair that will light if you are off level. Truly an amazing scope and system. I have evened that some states do not permit the BDX system to be used for big game hunting, only the scope alone. Shame. [/QUOTE]
