i think we're getting closer. here are an assortment of horseshoe shaped BDC reticles. the IOA-cqb and the grsc were created by the same gentleman. i'm using the GRSC now, but unfortunately, it is not daylight illuminated. the burris is just way too busy. the new trijicon is getting really close, but still a bit much on the left & right. the GRSC is a FFP scope, and if it was bright enuf in the daylight, would be a perfect red dot.
all in all, fiber optic is the way to go for brightness. blend the good points of these reticles and i like it for 3 gun.
