[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1359263, member: 103303"] Great post sir, and thank you for mentioning the MP8. The reticle really is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. In my experience, the intersection of my crosshairs seldom indicate my desired point of impact in a hunting application. That's not just impressive shooting, getting 3 hogs out of the field is a feat in itself! Congratulations on the great action. Attached is the MP8 reticle w/ and w/o subtensions. I'm familiar with IOR, I was not aware of that design however. A couple of things I really like about it; -MOA subtensions- I had been leaning toward MIL/MIL for simplicity of dialling (usually 10 clicks per mil, compared with typically 4 clicks per MOA) but MOA reticles seem to come out ahead for me - 1 MOA hash marks appear to my eye as the best balance. MIL reticles seem to be a bit coarse at 1/2mil increments, and a bit cluttered at .2mil. -Open centre in the crosshairs - the mp8 features an illuminated dot of 0.1MOA, which seems to me to offer a great precision aim point for paper punching/load development.[ATTACH=full]83472[/ATTACH][ATTACH]83473[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
