[QUOTE="big green chopper, post: 3481589, member: 46480"] I will say I agree that of the three you listed, I think they will all be disappointing. Reticles matter. And they matter a lot more in the LPVO's IMHO. why???? Speaking strictly from experience I can tell that for short to medium ranges (as you describe, and shooting hogs out to 300) no one twists turrets. So then that brings up the question, do we just learn our drop for the particular rifle through range test and if so does the reticle have vertical marks on the sub tension? Because a lot of earlier LPVO's don't, most of the late models do. Also, do we want BDC marks? And if so, consider that many BDC reticles such as the ACSS only go out to 500 or 600. Often the BDC neglect to include windage holds at range... so then what? More and more I find the versatility of an ACSS or similar BDC reticle with 5 & 10mph windage holds out to 800 is what I want. There is no turret dialing, no solution finding, hell you don't even necessarily have to determine your drop at different ranges. With a good BDC you just sight in at the specified zero range (usually 100 or 200) and then the rest of the hold points are pretty darn close and work fantastic out to 300. And by the old rule, 1 power for every 100 yards, I do fine with a 1-6. just my .02 [/QUOTE]
