Couple of years ago I was hunting a scrape line and after a NICE 12 pointer I had on camera....At darks I saw him step out onto the field edge at about 125 yards...It was past or close to the end of legal shooting light but I would have taken the shot and not felt guilty.

Anyway...I confirmed him in my Swarovski 7x42 SLCs....I raised my 338-06 with a Leupold VXII Duplex and could not find him...I repeated this 3 times and when I thought I finally had him in the scope on 3x I then couldn't make out the standard Duplex.....He lived.

The next season I began to change out to 6x42s, 6x36's and 3-9 40mm scopes with Heavy Duplex and German #4's.....to me the reticle is as important if not MORE important than the glass when hunting the Thicket Goats here in the Southeast.
