there are a lot of good scopes mentioned, i'm lucky enough to have used most. while i really like the swarovski, i'm a huge nightforce fan, and that fc2 reticle can be nice if your practice. you can use the circle around the dot, the tip of the triangle and the bottom when compensating for distance. in the middle you have a 2moa dot, the bottom of the circle is 5moa below the dot, the top of the triangle is 10 moa lower and the bottom of the triangle is 15 moa. if you know your drop, you can really use that, using my 223 with 77 grain blackhills ammo, it worked very well, and i mounted one on a scar 17 and it worked out well. it isn't as clean as some reticles out there, but that little scope can work very well with a little practice.
