[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 58175, member: 1522"] Andre, Here's how I see it. I have an IOR 10X tactical with the MP-8 reticle. I was trained using mil-dots and have many years of practice using them and I am very good with them. Mil-dots are simple to use, but it takes many hours of practice just to get average with them. I'm not trying to discourage you, just stating the facts. Most folks can break them down into 1/2 and 1/4 increments which is average. To be really good, you need to be able to break them down into 1/8 and 1/10th increments. Now the MP-8 reticle helps with this process over the standard Mil-dot or even the 2nd gen mil-dot IMHO. Next you need to know your target size and understand the formula used for ranging which is pretty simple and straight forward. The formula can used for yards or meters. Your going to need to spend an extra $29.95 for a mil-dot master which is a must unless you're going to bring a calculator. I can use mil-dots if I have to, but like most here I cheat. I use a Leica 1200 LRF 98% of the time. If my batteries crap out then I use the MP-8 reticle. My advice purchase a Leica 1200 LRF. But, learn to use the MP-8 reticle. It's a lot of fun learning the ins and outs with it. This way if your Leica craps outs you can still range using your MP-8 reticle. If you need the mil-dot formula, send me an email. Best of luck and Happy Holidays to you. [/QUOTE]
