[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 888097, member: 54178"] I too was very leery of getting a scope with the H 59 reticle because it looked like it would obscure the sight picture and also be too difficult to learn. Boy was I wrong. Using this reticle is very easy. Once you have the range and know your ballistics (or have them figured out electronically, like my Bushnell 1 Mile ARC binos do) you need to know your spin drift and wind horizontal hold. All that windage info/distances can be taped to your stock. My ballistics are in my LRF binos so I only worry about windage. Yeah, my Bushnell ERS riflescope has both ranging lock and zero lock turrets but I prefer the H 59 reticle for most situations. I DO "zero lock" my rifle at 300 meters. That zero distance also goes into my 1Mile ARC LRF binoculars so it makes the correct vertical hold readout. Morale of my particular story: "Prior ranging setup is very important before you go into the field." [/QUOTE]
