Yea, wasn't a fan of the 1-6 reticle. The 1-8 looks much better. Here are some better pics.


1-6x


1-8x

The little vertical hash marks correspond to bullet drift 5mph wind with a .223 and a 7mph wind for a .308

Sight in at 50 yards with 55gr 5.56/223 the 1 MOA dot is good from 50-200 yards, first horizontal hash is 300 second is 400 and so on.

Here are the subtensions for the 1-8x

Ha, yea allegedly. Probably wont use them much if at all unless the wind is really going. Just got in 1000 rounds of 55gr FMJ and 1000 rounds of 124gr 9mm ammo last night. Time to come play and practice. Someone needs to quit being lazy and build me a pistol range peep rofl

I have ran a LOT of them over the years..
While I definitely want a mil based scope for long range I like a BDC type for 3 gun.
My favorite is the Steiner Tactical 1-5.
Run a 200 yard zero with 3, 4, 5 and 600 yard holds
Super sharp glass and daytime bright center dot.
