[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1250444, member: 54178"] Er... maybe I spoke to soon? :D Yeah, SWFA has had 'em for a while. I have a mil//mil SWFA 3 - 15 x 42. And Vortex [I]does [/I]know how to make a reticle. Anyway, if your rifle is zeroed for 100 or 200 yards and you never shoot beyond 300 yards you're fine with Duplex style crosshairs. You'll still be "minute of deer". But getting out beyond 400 yards with a Duplex reticle is not good, even with a 6.5 SAUM. You need mil or MOA hash marks (not dots) for longer distance shooting. It's just fair to the game to be precise. Plus if you have a whiz-bang laser rangefinder W/ ballistic software that gives you a hold in which ever format you like then you need a hash mark reticle. I don't want to hunt W/O my laser rangefinder binoculars anymore. I could do it but I wouldn't like it. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
