    HFT reticle ?????

    I know this is not a review but I didn't know where to put it

    which would be your choice of reticle for hft ? please explain ...

    SR6
    SR12 , both Hawke

    SCB , MTC

    LRX , Nikko Stirling

    or the good old mildot ?

    I'm not asking to compare complete scopes because , just the reticles

    thanks
    Peter

    The toxicity of lead varies, depending upon the weight of its doseage and its velocity!

    imo
    tmr to fine
    lrx to busy
    hawke sr just plain bizarre
    mildot not good in high wind
    scb mtc perfect!!

    obviously i think the viper is the way forward but i think theres an even field of rets being used so its whatever takes your fancy really. for what its worth ive put them below in what i think is their order of usefulness and the scope quality too!
    dop

    1st viper scb
    2nd bushnell ballistic
    3rd mildot
    4th leupold tmr
    5th hawke sr
    6th nikko lrx

    1st leupold
    2nd burris
    3rd bushnell
    4th edgar bros
    5th hawke + falcon
    6th viper
    cant rate nikko as i only looked through on quickly
    M.A.D FOR IT!

    Would love Leup, Burris, EB, Bushnell - all with the SCB ret.

    The SCB is without doubt my favourite ret - hate mildots, love the SCB for its help with wind judging, preventing canting, great aim points especially the .75 mildot one

    thanks for the replies !

    scb seems to be the winner (with better glasses )

    how do most of you do the rangefinding in HFT ?

    Ahhh Peter...that opens up a whole new thread. I first estimate the distance and then bracket the kill size. It works for me

    Are you looking at getting into HFT a little more?...you might be very lucky having the current UKAHFT champion living 20km from you

    This does depend on knowing the kill zone size, some sneeky buggers have altered a lot of targets, so bracketing may not help.

    True Mark, that's why my estimate by eye goes first and back it up with bracketing. If i get 40 yds by eye and 45yds by bracketing i shoot at approx 42/43 is yds.
