[QUOTE="HAMMERHAND, post: 695378, member: 33066"] Hey everyone! Currently I have a Zeiss 4.5-14 power scope with the Rapid Z-800 reticle. I love the scope for elk out to 800, but this last weekend I was noticing on antelope the reticle center is a bit heavier than I like, and covers a good deal of the target 600 yards and beyond. Additionally for plains mule deer, antelope, and longer range elk I would desire a bit higher power. Some of the nightforce reticles look promising and I was looking at the velocity 1,000 reticle in the 5.5-22. Anybody have any experience with the velocity reticle in comparison to the rapid Z?? Even the Rapid Z-1000 looks a bit heavy in the subtension department. Any other suggestions on scopes?? I really like the ease of the "christmas tree reticles" as opposed to dialing up...particularly at our elk location because often you get less than 20 seconds for a shot from ranging to firing. I appreciate the opinions!! Thank you! [/QUOTE]
