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?
I agree to a certain extent although I would say IMO the windage turret should be small and capped. hold for wind because it changes too much. The part I don't see a need for is all the hash marks on the verticle cross hair. those are the ones they could get rid of. I don't see a use for them. However I have never thought of them as being in the way.
I have never seen a need for illumination though. I would actually rather the scope not have it. but then again I use the 3.5-15x50 model which may change the equation over the lesser power 10x model.
