Gents, I appreciate the input. I dropped the nickel on a VX3i 2.5x8x36 with CDS elevation and #4 reticle.

Bought a Kimber Select in .270 off the rack at SAS's shop last week. Trial mounted both a stock 6x36 and a stock 2.5x8x36 on it. The 2.5x8 won out. This will complete my quest for "nice wood blue" rifle. Not Left Hand. But alas, 5x to 10x less cost than a comparable LH custom. I'll make it work... wink

Called the "Post and Crosshair"

It always made me shoot high, since the post stuck above the horizontal crosshair by about an MOA or so. When aiming quickly I always felt my eyes drawn to the top of that post for an aiming point, but that would be out of kilter with the horizontal.

The post & crosshair you're speaking of is not the one I mean. The thick bottom post didn't cross the horizontal wire and extend above it in the one I saw pictures of.
