THAT is the reason I've never tried a Crimson Trace scope.

I prefer simple reticles...the less busy, the better.

This is dumb, IMO:

If there has to be THREE heavy elements of the reticle, then the lower element should be the finer one. The thickness of it otherwise occludes too much of the view.

Some serious heavy metal influence there. Hold it up to the ear and listen for lead singer screaming.

THIS. FULL STOP.

LOL…it says “custom”. Maybe it’s for when coyotes tilt their heads back and howl, you put the point of their nose at the top of the diamond! If it doesn’t fit right, drop to next diamond, or find a bigger coyote to shoot at!

I never liked any reticle with extra hash marks that were only accurate at a certain power. I don't want to have to think about whether my scope is set on 6x or 9x if I'm trying to make a longer shot in a hurry.

I don't generally have an opportunity for long shots anyway. I much prefer a simple heavy duplex or #4 over anything else.


It might be lonely at the top, but it's a bitch at the bottom.

I think it's a Bushnell on my inline that has a setup like that.
Kinda like it. The circle doesn't bother me, kinda draws the eye to the
center. The intersection of the bottom of the circle and the vertical
wire is close enough to work at 200 yards. Surely just luck.

I received as a gift a Vortex Viper 1X4. Scope itself isn't bad, but the reticle is a big lit, glowing red blob of schitt that is senseless to me. The 223 one in an AN/PVS-4 is a real winner too.

Looks to me they tried to copy the Nikon coyote except with diamonds instead of circles.

This is my favorite reticle. It works great for my needs.

Anybody own/Use Shepard scopes? I never handled one and don't want one. I guess I will never know what I am missing.

To be fair, that reticle isn't the MilQuad reticle that gets all the rave reviews. It's only available on a 2nd Focal plane scope.

Shoulda gone 1st Focal Plane.
