Rifle Scopes Horus reticle in S&B

[emsp]

Here is my set up:
Barrett MRAD
TBAC 338BA
Leupold 6.5-20*50 Mil Dot MOA dial FFP scope

I ran out of elevation at just under a mile and want to step up to a better scope. I would like an S&B. I am new to this sport and enjoy the standard mildot and would like that in the S&B, however there are several suppliers that are stocking the scope I want but with a Horus reticle. I am not very fond of the Horus reticle but I am less fond of a 20 week lead time for a P4 reticle in the S&B I want. I have only shot one rifle, one time that was equipped with the H37 reticle and I was not thrilled with it. I am unsure if I disliked it because it was something I was not familiar with or I found it too busy. Does someone with experience with these reticle have some knowledge to share with me before I purchase something I am unfamiliar with? Any input is appreciated.

The H58 & 59 are definitely an improvement over the H37. But I have to ask, if you're running out of elevation are you not running canted rings/base? For a .338LM a 30 or 40MOA base is crucial to getting the most out of that cartridge. As for S&B 5-25x w/P4F...

Here's one available with an MSR reticle, which is a nice option

I just sold a PMII 5-25 with P4 here in the classifieds and they show up there all the time.
Unless you are averse to buying used, I bet you can find one here in less than a week.

CSTactical has an Brand New open box Steiner 5-25 with MSR reticle for $2723.
The DT indicator on that Steiner is bad ass and I hear the glass is up there with S&B.

I have a PM II 5.5x25 with a H 37 reticle and I love it. But I am not Military trained or was hunter in my younger years. For me it is very easy to hold over instead of dialing clicks. But each to his own.

Try a 20 MOA base first, if you are happy with the scope. Also, what model do you have? I think Leupold's FFP scopes only have mil/mil (reticle/turrets).
