[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2493435, member: 5437"] Welcome to the forum [USER=122756]@MtnOak[/USER] ! I'd specify first of all I would go MIL not MOA. I prefer a tree but not super busy like a Horus. Get one that makes sense on the marking divisions enough that it's easy to understand all the way down but not so specific that it requires studying when in use. I also prefer the floating dot usually but have a Hawke with an open cross center that I think I like that part of also. FFP, especially with a big magnification range, you want fine detail in the center and big bold main stadia wires - main crosshairs. Illumination can help too if it's done right. On say a 4-30X at 4x you can hardly make out the tree/fine inner markings and big bold main crosshairs draw your eye to the aiming point. If lit, almost a red dot center. Zoomed in to 30x the main cross dissappears to the outer edges and all that detail is front and center. So close in faster shots you have the speed of a simple crosshair and at distance you get the detail for wind and elevation. [/QUOTE]
