My struggle with getting the MOAR reticle is in the example given above. If I can dial for windage and elevation do I also need a large reticle like the moat? Seems duplicative?

Interesting observation about the glass vs S&B and Swaro - I compared one to my Swaro 1.7-10 and thought the swaro had it by a bit, but that was mid day. My thinking about the tradeoff was more toughness from the NF vs swaro.

Now I'm wondering if I should just get a Leica ER in 2.5-10x42 for a better price?
