Re: Any thoughts on Leupold vs Horus Vision?
"...long timers..." - yeah, that's me, I'm old...
That's a better question.
My primary scope for three years was a U.S.O. with a Horus H25 - so I have some experience with the reticle.
I sold that scope. What I realized was that shooting holds was a very fast way to shoot multiple targets at multiple distances, and the need for that is most often at relatively close distances.
I can shoot out to 600 yards with my .308 by holding over on the 5 mils of marks below the crosshairs in a conventional mil reticle, from a 100 yard zero, just like I would do with a Horus reticle.
At longer distances, I can dial elevation, and, if I need speed, hold over and/or under from a longer elevation, using all 10 of the mil marks.
That's easiest in a scope with a mil reticle with mil adjustments, because all your dope is in mils.
I still have some Leupold scopes, but for the kind of shooting I do, I prefer Nightforce. Any mil reticle will work - pick whatever you like.
I think you'd be better off with 0.1 mil adjustments rather than the M1 knobs. Life is just simpler when the reticle and the scope adjustments are in the same system.
Over the years, this site has been thick with horror stories about HorusVision customer service that mirror my own experience with them, which is why I continue to recommend that those who have a burning desire to own a scope with a Horus reticle get it in some other maker's scope.
