Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Ask John Barsness Questions About "Rifle Scope Reticles"

JPro,

Good point about known distance shots with the B&C reticle. I always use a laser rangefinder in places where open terrain may result in longer shots. The 3 shots I described were all made from good rests and distance to the animal or a close spot were determined before the shot.

The simplicity of sighting and, if needed, shooting rapidly when on target are the primary virtues of the B&C and LR Dot reticles. In real life hunting scenarios those are great advantages IME.
