[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 189175, member: 704"] Only a little more money to get you to the Diamondback HP. For years I run the mildots. Now I have minute of angle reticles. Now Vortex PST first focal plane have the large diameter turrets like the Razors and you get 25 minutes of angle per revolution. I think they are trying to make sure I can't be happy more than one year at a time. There are a number of advantages to the minute of angle reticles. If your program says that at 600 yards your 308 needs 16 minutes of come up you can dial or pic 16 minutes on the reticle and get a shot off faster. The other good thing if you're running a laser range finder and you know your deer is 655 yards and the width of his rack is 3.5 minutes of angle in your scope. Simply multiply 6.55 X 3.5 and you know the rack is 22.9 inches wide. You will never be that accurate, but you will know it's within an inch or two, somewhere in the 21 to 25 inch area. If your judgement is good you will be even closer. [/QUOTE]
