I am 76 so I fall into that aging category. The 2 reticles you put up, the DDR-2 is my favorite. I have it in a NXS 12-42x56 and shoot it in rimfire F-Class. I have looked through a Nightforce Competition with the FCR reticle and it is very similar to my NXS with MOAR-T reticle and that is very useablle. I shot that scope at 1000 F-Class and the cross in the middle was very easy to use and stood out nicely.
