Bushnell Legend 5-15x40 mildot

[Si-snipe]

Does anyone have direct experience of the Legend 5-15 x 40 and the Mamba 4-16? I'm particularly interested in the reticle - which one has the thickest crosshairs, for example? And which retains best parallax and focus down to 20yards? I'm looking for one with thin 'hairs and would like something suitable for targets at 20 yards and farther! Both scopes are fairly similar price-wise. Any thoughts appreciated!
Cheers.

MTC Mamba has much finer reticle. The legend is thick and the mildots are large so if 'fine' is your ideal then the MTC will be the option.
I have had and looked through both.

Thanks, Si - I had a feeling that the MTC had a finer reticle. Thanks for your help.

Does that matter? What sort of target are you aiming at? Paper punching or hunting I wouldn't have thought it would have made much difference?

It matters to some and I can understand why.
For target shooters aiming at small bull at a range of 50m+ the mildots can obscure the target and make it difficult to ensure you are exactly centred. I found this at 60m shooting small bulls on targets. In the field in a hunting situation considering the kill zone it wont be a problem.
For me, the Bushnell Legend does exactly what I want.
