To me the #4 is too thick for presice target work at 300 yds and beyond, the reticle covers too much of the target.
Most wouldn't think a 1-6 would be a LR scope, but at 6X, a long shot isn't a stretch.
I like the std. duplex, feel it's heavy enough. With the Firedot, you have the best of both worlds.
