[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 3076325, member: 54178"] Unless your long range reticle has some type of "Christmas tree" setup for wind holds it is, IMHO, NOT a long range reticle. My current Bushnell Elite 4.5 - 18 x 44 scope has a G3 reticle which is small enough for hunting but gives you the needed holds for wind. NO GUESSING where to hold and NO DIALING. I'm considering buying a BURRIS Eliminator 6 scope and it has a big Xmas tree that I really like. I'll buy a Kestrel weather meter for getting accurate shooter's position wind speed (the most important wind reading) so I'll know where to hold after the onboard ballistic engine gives me a VERY accurate hold over using its many sensors and uploaded cartridge data. Yeah, sounds too technical but use it and practice with it and you will be FAR more accurate than even using my very good Bushnell Elite with its lighted G3 reticle. [/QUOTE]
