I really appreciate all the guidance. I'm going to keep looking for a mil/mil G2XR type reticle. I found a Falcon 5.5-25x50 FFL illum with that reticle at SWFA for a very reasonable price. Hey Riley, unfortunately over here in Afghanistan, my internet server restricts some types of files and https so unfortunately I can't get pics from photobucket.. But I did find the Vortex site and checked the reticle. It looks like it would be very useful. I've been trained on mil/mil and ranging with reticles so it'll be an easy switch.
Thanks for the help!
