Re: Hunting Scope Reticle
Dagger,
This is a depends question:
Depends on where you hunt: Plains, timber, woods, tundra, et al
Depends on what you hunt: Deer @ 0 dark 30, hogs, varmints,
Depends on how you hunt: Still hunt, stand, drives,
Depends on your scope: FFP or SFP
Depends on the yardage: DG @ under 50 yds, medium game north of 500 yds. et al
So one size/type reticle does not fit all hunting situations. But if I had to offer an opinion:
Game under 150 yds: a German #4 type post and crosshairs in a SFP variable under 6x.
Game over that range: FFP scope with an Illuminated Mil based Reticle, in the 2.5-10 and up range.
IMHO,
Bob
