I can see their thinking in going with a BDC instead of the MOA Quad, in that the purpose of this scope isn't really to dial, so having matching reticle and adjustments isn't of utmost importance. Another reason to go with a BDC over an MOA reticle is that an MOA reticle isn't intuitive for shooting at specific yardages, where bullet drop would match up to say 300 and 400 yards. A MIL reticle, on the other hand, will often fall into place quite nicely with intuitive yardages. For example, an average 168 grain 308 load or 75 grain 223 load can be easily sighted in to where one mil low = 300 yards, two mils low = 400, and so on, which makes for a really intuitive BDC reticle. A reticle with MOA graduations isn't going to fall in line so nicely.
Though the above paragraph is a moot point when it comes to this scope, as a person will have a hard time figuring out what hash mark to use when they're in fear of being whacked in the dome with the eyepiece every time the trigger is touched off. The short eye relief is a completely asinine design - making the scope useless for the vast majority of users, all to try and save an ounce.
Excellent post. Agree on all counts, especially the 'short eye relief is a completely asinine design-making the scope useless for the vast majority of users, all to try and save an ounce " part.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
