My dad has several Leupolds with the Boone and Crockett reticle. His 4.5 X 14 scopes are what got me to change from the Leupold 3.5 X 10. The B&C reticle is much easier to see in the 4.5 X 14 power LR scopes.
The new Swarovski that my dad purchased has some reticle in it that I do not know the name of. It is not a Boone and Crockett design. It is very busy and the lines are very fine. I guess it would make a good varmint scope, but I would not like it on a big game rifle.
The last 6x6 bull elk I shot in New Mexico was shot at a lasered 436 yards in failing dim light. It was trying to snow and getting dark. But that B&C reticle stood out well enough to drop that bull with my 300 Wby Mag.
