J23,

I concur with your last paragraph. Why not a german no. 4 reticle too? Definitely a gloss finish, 2.5 x ,a 4x, 6x (for that group of folks). Less SKUS seem to be the rage so instead ofa3-9and 4-12, maybe one scope model that catches both : 3-12x for-example. Really good ideas and points there.
