I like the TDS. Had one in a Swaro 6-18x50. The complaint was hunting with a bipod, trying to make a 385 yd. shot on an antelope. For the TDS to work, the scope needed to be on full power. 18X on a bipod creates a problem trying to hold the rifle still. I made the shot, but when I got home, I traded that scope for a turret scope and have been spinning turrets since.
With a turret, the power setting and range are independent. Power can be set for best view, turret turned to the correct range.
On another hunt, using a Burris with Ballistic reticle, I was deer hunting and the sun was setting. At full power, the light transmission was so bad, I couldn't see. If I cut the power down enough to see, the ballistic reticle was no longer accurate.
Needless to say, I'm out of the ballistic reticle business, although I would agree that the TDS is one of the best of its kind.
