Is there an advantage to one power over another with this reticle. I understand one has more power than the other. What about seeing the lover regions of the reticle with one power vs the other. Can you see the same lines on 14 as you can on 20 both being top power? Or if you crank the 20 to 14 then you would see the same lines. Probably going to lean to the 20 but, still 6.5 is kinda high on the low end? It is going to go on my RRA LAR 8 16in. But I may want to move it to my 243AI sometimes.

The lines aren't not going to be the same at 20 vs. 14. You'll have less lines at 20. The lines will also be a little thicker and you'll have more spacing in the grid pattern.

May I ask what kind of shooting are you going to do with it Todd? What will be your most common distance? Max distance?

Thanks,

Mason @ CST

I am going to shoot a match or two and take a class or two. It is going on a 16in RRA LAR 8 so realistically 800 is about the max. But, I also want to be able to swap it on to my 243ai as well. Still not sure about this whole gas gun thing as of yet.
