[QUOTE=".284, post: 695582, member: 19604"] I also like the Christmas tree type reticle for the same reason you mentioned. I found the Swarovski brh/brx to be the most suitable one so far. Its not too thick like the conquest series. I also found those be too thick for load development and longer hunting shots. The draw back to the Swarovski is that it only goes to 4.5 mils in .5 increments. 5.5 if you use the top of the bottom post. This will get you out there but will limit you to about 700-800 yards depending on your caliber. What I find to be a benefit though is that it's graduated in easy to remember measurements. If you look at the velocity reticles they are exactly what I am looking for except instead of using easy to remember spacing on the reticle it is more geared toward having your bullet match up at even yardages like 500, 600 etc. I like what they did but I want to use a scope with a ballistics program for different atmospheric conditions and trying to remember random moa reticle measurements and perhaps hold in between them while hunting doesn't really appeal to me. If you come across any other Christmas tree type reticle please share it [/QUOTE]
