[QUOTE="tuscan, post: 1535147, member: 90621"] Wow - what a nice issue to have to solve! Given you have stated no budget to work within, Kahles and Nightforce are great options. NF is introducing a new reticle that is a simplified Christmas tree style that is getting great reviews (see Precision Rifle Blog recent post). Kahles SKMR reticles are also great.Agree with your desire to standardize to simplify, and do think you should stick to one plane (given your purposes - FFP seems more suited) and MIL or MOA, but don't mix them. For me though, having one reticle wouldn't be a necessity on the whole line, as your purposes have to sometimes be different. As an example, with the overlap in calibers you have (eg, 6.5 Creed and 6.5 GAP; 2 30s and a 7mm) you may have built these for different purposes? could one have been built to be a light mountain rifle? If so, you might want to break from the K or NF lines and look at a March 3-24x42 for one of those. That gives you the ability to stay with FFP and do it in a 22.5 ounce package. if you feel the need for a larger objective, you can go with 3-24x52 and it only adds 2 ounces. You won't sacrifice glass quality with either. Anything K or NF FFP is going to be much heavier and the mag range is more limited (4 or 5 multiple, not 8). One other bit - since you'll be hunting you will sometimes be at the low end of the mag range. The FFP reticles become very fine and hard to see in certain light and backgrounds, so get illuminated option for any you will use to hunt. [/QUOTE]
