Mildot v multi x

[clarky]

I've used both ....no question under FT conditions (and theoretically on paper) that you can get more out of a mill dot....even the ability to accurately estimate range is better, however I have gone back to a simple DX
I found by the time I had run all the calculations of which dot etc that the squirrel had either moved or disappeared .....once you have learnt how to use your regular scope ( within usual airgun hunting ranges) then it's much quicker and more instinctive.
I have no argument with Mill dots being more effective at further ranges with FAC stuff or benched situations of course....that's a given really

I went through the phase of big lenses, high mags, adjustable everything with some godawfully complicated reticles, but frankly I found myself twiddling about and doing maths instead of shooting rabbits!

With my "hunting" guns I've gone back to basics with smaller, but better quality scopes, lower mag, fixed px and 30/30 or basic multi type rets. The guns zero'd at 30 yards, Mnsr Le Rabbit is at about 40 yards, aim to the top of the skull: dead rabbit!

Must say, I have come to the same conclusion as Msr Teenbum.

Exactly this as regards the reticle's and smaller scopes. Sometimes it takes you too long to realize things that make sense, that's the unfortunate thing. Interesting thread I started a while back.

yep yep n yep...,
i just put a vortex 2-8x32 bdc on my huntsman & its like putting an old pair of boots on......
prior to fitting the meopta to my evo i had a vortex on that for ages & loved it.., simple rey 3 or for markers which space about 8-10 yrds out to 60yrds on full mag.
perfect.., its not too tech to cet you calculating but enough to be sure. all i need now is to make up some dope cards for my flip up cover & im well away.

Something to bear in mind when thinking about reticles - Anything more than 5 MPH of crosswind, and you need to aim off more for windage than you do for elevation

I'd be lying if I said that I've never used the wrong dot before

30/30 - always....

Mph? My personal hygiene? Does that mean if its been a week since I've had a shower I need to consult chairgun?!!!!!!!!

I see Daystate are now selling a iphone bracket to fit the Huntsman. Ideal for you that is.

Cross hairs for me, as plain as possible. If I was sufficiently insecure about taking a shot at an animal that I felt I needed to ask a computer how to do it then I wouldn't take the shot.
