I have an old Zeiss/Jena 6X with the #1 and have taken a few deer with it. IMO, works great for me. If I can see the deer I can see the reticle and I can't say that about all the scopes I own.

I bought a Meopta 6X with the #1 earlier this year. I haven't hunted it yet but shooting good groups hasn't been a problem. I have it sighted in where the bullets hit 2" high above the pointy #1 tip at 100yds.
