The only ones which make sense with common field shooting. My eyes are going to shit. G1 makes the most sense to ME: "Pumpkin On a Post" hold:

Sometimes a "crescent wrench and hammer" will result the same as a "scalpel and forceps":

That is all.

G4 has ZERO advantage over traditional crosshairs. G1 provides more "steadiness" for PBZ and practical field application IMO/E.

Sometimes one must leave cheese away from the eggs:

You can keep your post. IHR for me. It’s VERY fine. @ 10x the ends of the “plus sign” are 3MOA and the points @ 3/6/9 are 6MOA.

200yd zero, holdovers for ~350 and ~450 for most “deer” cartridges without dialing. Plenty of reference for <15MPH wind too.

Back in 1962 my brother had one of those on a pump action 22 mag. I can't even remember if it was a Winchester or Remington, but I hated that reticle. The top triangle glowed in the dark which was good for canoeing the river for late evening beaver. He wishes he still had the rifle because whatever it was he said the current value is crazy.

I like my optics with very fine cross hairs, I probably dont shoot my game like most and that I dont dial the power up to see the specific area im aiming for, i dont know if that's normal or not. I shoot out of a tree stand so I like to see the deers whole body and place my sights on the area im shooting at. The last 3 deer I took where heart shots taken with a 6mm at 30 yds so super easy hunting for me.

Im no technical optics user since I dont do much shooting before deer season, one of my employers is a gun fanatic so he shoots and reloads lots of brass during the summer so im going to tag along and perhaps learn a thing or two about all those fancy acronyms everyone uses when talking about when target shooting.

I may be able to go with that. I have a similar reticle on my .22 (Redfield) with a circled cross which I'm starting to hate. I shot tighter groups with the old Tasco 4X air rifle scope. I also miss the parallax adjustment. .30 cal holes @50 have become dimes.
