[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1361230, member: 103303"] Good suggestion, for service reasons it makes a lot of sense to buy domestic. They don't really fit my budget - if I get 20yrs of service out of the thing I could maybe talk myself into justifying a low cost of ownership... Also, I am not opposed to buying used, so with some patience i may just end up with whichever good deal I come across first. I try to fund the hobby with coyote pelts, so what's a dozen more coyotes, eh? We have a lot of them down here this year, and I'm friends with some sheep farmers... I would like to check out tangent theta. Attached is their milling reticle (1 of 3 options). The TT315M is the most basic of 3 scopes they offer. Here in Canada it costs slightly more than than the IOR Recon which is the scope to rule them all, in terms of raw capability. The kahles 624i and lupold mk6 (w/o illumination) cost about 25% less, which is significant. TT315p has a larger main tube (more adjustment) and bigger fancier turrets, and the TT525P has the same, with more magnification. These are not within my realm of po$$ibility for me at this time. [ATTACH=full]83862[/ATTACH] Bottom line is, I'm not too concerned with glass. Any of these optics are going to be better than my current old zeiss/old lupold, which are already waaaay better than my naked eye in twilight. That's why I titled this thread '...reticles' - And fortunately for me TT isn't in my top 3! I don't need to count the whiskers, I just need a stadia that doesn't cover the whole 'yote at 500m!
