I'd like to keep the price around $500. Here are a few I'm eyeballing......let me know of others I should consider. Thanks! 1. Arken EPL4 4-16x44 FFP MOA VHR reticle $300 Parallax-10yds Weight 23.70 2. Sightron S-Tac 3-16x42 SFP MOA-2 reticle $400 Parallax-10yds Weight 23.3 3. Sightron S-Tac 4-20x50 SFP MOA-2 Reticle $400 Parallax-10yds Weight 23.6 4. Element Helix HDLR 2-16x50 SFP APR-1C Reticle $580 Parallax-10yds Weight 27.16 5. Hawke Vantage 4-16x50 AO $280 Parallax-15yds Weight21.87 6. Burris Signature HD 3-15x44 Plex reticle $430 (Demo) Parallax-25yds Weight 20.0 Why is it called a double u, should'nt it be called a double v?
