[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2694547, member: 113003"] I sure wish some of the more top shelf glass makers offered a simple reticle. I’m an optics junkie and probably put more value on my scopes and binos than is necessary. But at the same time I’m limited with which brands I actually use. I can’t do busy reticles and prefer a simple duplex, the thinner the better and a solo red dot illumination in the center. I can do a ballistic reticle, if it’s very basic and doesn’t have too much going on. Obviously I dial my yardage so the turrets need to be just right. I only really hunt with my rifles so my needs are not like that of a long range competition shooter. I have tried most every higher end scope out there that has a suitable reticle…..I can’t tell much of a difference between the ones I currently use….a Swaro Z8i, S&B Exos and Polar, and a Leica Magnus. Each one has its moments but they all perform equally in 99% of the conditions. I did buy a March not ago and really wanted to like it…..it was light weight and very well made. The glass was excellent but the eye box was so finicky and erratic I sent it back. It seemed impossible to use quickly after sitting behind any of the others I have. So I bought another Leica and never looked back. [/QUOTE]
