Thanks very much for the reply.
What do you do to test them? Set up a calibrated grid pattern at 100 yds and move your head slightly side to side???
Leupold had that bicker with Premier Reticles and I kinda got sour on Leupold for a while; but in all reality from what little I know about optics it does seem that they have thought through a lot of hunting applications that other scope makers have not- like generous eye-box.
What is your favorite scope for a go-to big-game rig out to 400 yards or less? I might just get that 6x42 everybody here touts.
