[QUOTE="Swinehunt74, post: 2355110, member: 59444"] Really like the VX3 4.5-14x44 w/ B&C in 1" for light weight hunter. Have been using Leupold 4.5-14 with B&C reticle for 18+ years. Was at Vegas shot show right after buying first B&C Leupold and spoke with Leupold rep about this reticle. Most people i know that have/had one don't understand how to use as intended. Rotate variable setting so raised knob is at 12 o'clock position, usually 5x or 8x, depending on power of scope. Zero at 200yds and use holdovers for appropriate distances per your caliber. Also there are two small diamond shapes (one larger than other) icons between highest setting and and a couple lower down. Small diamond shape is the setting for high velocity and large is for slower velocity. Set scope on one of these if not sure about setting knob at 12 o'clock. Also when variable knob is at 12, on Leupold, allows the greatest light gathering capability. Hope i put this FYI in correct spot. [/QUOTE]
