[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 58187, member: 4"] Andre, You may not be interested in ranges past 500-600 at this point in your long range hunting career, but not having a lazer range finder will only limit yourself at sometime. Grid reticules, mil-dots, etc are fast and work well for some holdovers. To learn to use your caliberated reticule the best, you should have a lazer to confirm your estimations anyway. I think that if you have the lazer you will find that with accurate range estimation you will greatly extend your distance. The problem I have found with mil-dots or cross hair caliberated reticules is when you need hold over for both windage and elevation. This condition will put your aiming point out in the "clear glass" with a difficult holding point. I much prefer to lazer, dial the elevation and hold the windage. If you get a lazer, get a good one.
