[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1004593, member: 54178"] Back to the OP's original question, Mil Dot v.s. Mil hash mark There is a reason all [I]curren[/I]t military scopes use hash marks and that is because they are more precise and obscure less of the view. With hash marks there is no more estimating between the center of a dot and its edge (AND needing to know the dot size). Mil hash marks are usually designed with shorter 1/2 mil hash marks between them for a more precise hold. For extreme windage holds small dots [I]are[/I] found below and outside the hash mark areas at mil intervals on some reticles like Horus. In the future we will see more and more LRF scopes much like the very good Burris Eliminator II. And these new electronic scopes will probably have a combination of hash mark reticles and small dots beyond the hash marks. They will likely include compass/corolis effect sensors and software as well as barometric pressure and temperature sensors for a better firing solution. But, yeah, wind calculation is still up to the shooter and perhaps the shooter's hand-held weather meter. The "smartest" electronic hunting scopes may have Bluetooth enhancement to receive that wind data from a Bluetooth equipped weather meter. With your electronic scope, GPS/EPRB (emergency locator beacon), digital camera/satellite phone, UV water purifier and maybe an iPod you'll need a slew of extra batteries or at least an efficient solar charger. Welcome to the 21st Century! :) [/QUOTE]
