Does a hunting rifle scope really need to resmble the HUD from an F/A 18 Super Hornet?
Absolutely not. The only reason I like/use 4-12X40s is, Ark. has a 3 pt on 1 side antler law.
REGARDLESS of how large the body OR antlers, there MUST be 3 pts on 1 side of an antler to be legal.
I killed a 6 pt buck, 175-178 lbs., with 17 1/2" inside spread. I had to study the rack for some time to see A 3rd point.
Otherwise a simple 6 X and maybe with dots would be all that's necessary.
