[QUOTE="Starbuck, post: 2494353, member: 120719"] Thanks for posting up the reticle pic. It's a good example of a well thought out design that allows the best of both worlds for a hunting reticle. Gives you what you need as far as wind and holdover points to hit far off targets in varied conditions, yet the heavy lines are far enough in that they will extend right in to center on low X and make for quick aiming at closer objects in heavy cover and/or low light conditions. For my part, if they aren't going to offer wind holds under center, they could flip the vertical lines so that the heavy post is on bottom and the light lined, numbered graduations were over center. Theory being that if one is going to dial for elevation and hold for wind anyway, which is what pretty much what has to be done in variable winds without wind holds down near 6, 8, 10 mils under center, you might as well have a good aiming point coming from underneath similar to a German #4 and leave the top more open to see hits, misses, and game reaction after the shot.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
