[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2037865, member: 116181"] Nightforce and Horus have guides specifically about all the details in their reticles that you can download, but I think in general they're too cluttered up with things I won't use, so I don't have any of them. My primary hunting rifles have duplex reticles, and the old black crosses don't do anything a fancy reticle wouldn't for what I use them for. I have some of the "Christmas tree" reticles, but with FFP most of the detail is obscured anyways. As mentioned before dialing is a good option. Getting the scope you have set up to dial for range might be a useful exercise before buying a new scope. You can see what your current reticle does and get a feel for the internal adjustment range and confirm your tracking, both of which are arguably more important than the reticle. I'd rather ignore parts of a Horus reticle in a scope that tracks perfectly than have a nice simple duplex/mil dot that I can't move the turrets on. If you've never played around with dialing, this is a fun introduction: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.boxtobenchprecision.com/store/the-ultimate-hunting-target[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/box-to-bench-hunting-targets-review.1233/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
