SWFA SS 6x42mm with MQ reticle is solid and it runs $299
The last thing I want is a fat heavy 30mm scope on a hunting carry rifle. I also would not want a busy cluttered up reticle.
You can hunt out to 500 yards with a duplex reticle.
Perhaps you're mistaking the SS 6x MQ for a NF BEAST with Horus reticle?
You can hunt out to 500 yards with a Sharps and a good peep sight, too, but that doesn't make it the best tool for the job...
