Rich, that scope was on my top pics when I was looking for a new scope for my 300 WM. IMO, it's "fine duplex" knocked it out of the running and I went with the Leica ER which has a bolder reticle. Honestly, I would have been even happier if it had a slightly bolder reticle, but because of it's superb glass, it's reticle lasts just a little longer into darkness than if it had, say just very good glass like the Elite 6500 does. Because of the intended uses of that scope, it's reticle is probably designed correctly seeing how it goes up to 16X at the top end.
