Anyone ever tried one of these scope reticles for these smaller vermin?

I drug out a Marlin 17 HMR that needed a scope on it, and the cheap one on it crashed and burned ( a BSA and I won't do one of those again)...

I didn't want to cannabalise another scope from another rifle, and had a Leupold 6 x with a target dot, but thought that is not enough power...

I have a 3 x 9 Leupold with the German # ONE reticle in it.. I have always liked this reticle so I have decided to try it on this rifle...

Anyone ever used one of these style reticles on game that small?

I thought I would try it out to see how it goes...
