Has anyone had the opportunity to look through the Schmidt & Bender 5-45x 56 with the horus retical? How much of the reticle can be seen at a magnification of 20 and how much at 45?
 
I have one in the P4LF and at 45x all you are going to see is basically the center crosshairs plus a the first couple marks out.

Thank you for your answer.
To expand on it is the reticle so large at the 45 power magnification that it would block a man sized steel silhouette at 1500 you 2000 yards ?
Is the reticle visible and usable at 20 power magnification ?
 
That's really got nothing to do with the scope... rather review Horus's reticle datasheet.
The Horus H59 has a central vertical crosshair of 0.055 Mil.
At 2000yds 1 Mil is 72", which makes the reticle 3.96" wide.
At 1500yds 1 Mil is 54", which makes the reticle 2.97" wide.
... and that will be the same in any scope that contains a H59 reticle.

Would have to be a pretty skinny man sized steel target to hide behind that.
