rifle scope reticles

willy56
I'm looking for a rifle scope that has at least 6-20 power (preferably both higher numbers), 40 - 50 mm, A.O. (do they all go down to ten yrds. or so?), new or good condition used, and less than $200. So far, this is no problem, right?

But I can't find a reticle that I like - my eyesight isn't what it used to be - seems the dots are all too small, or the crosshairs are all too big! Red dots don't seem come in the power that I want, and they seem to be a pretty big dot anyway, and a lot of crosshairs I've seen are too big.

I did see something they called a 1/4 mao dot with no crosshairs, but if the dot was twice the size (or a little bigger) and if it had fine crosshairs it'd be perfect!

Any help or advice with this will be greatly appreciated - thanks!

    I bought a BSA illuminated reticle mil dot scope for my M1A1. Was under $100 new.

    Haven't tried it out yet but looks like it should be pretty much what I wanted. If memory serves, it is 6-24, 40 mm.

    I prefer mil-dot reticles myself. But you are asking for a a tall order to get good optics in high power with the reticle you want.

    I would suggest the Tasco titan or World Class. If you find an older one that was made in Japan the optics are better than those made currently in China. Simmons and Bushnell both have about that class of scope. Also if you haven't heard of their scopes Millet might make something about that range. -Good luck.

    if your eyes aren't GREAT, you arent going to use any 1/4 moa dot. That is only 1/4" at 100yds (roughly less than or slightly larger than your bullet hole). Now if you mean a 4moa dot, that sounds right.

    If you are looking to shoot a decent rig long range and be able to click to zero,..the only scope in your price range is the tasco (used to be tasco) Super Sniper. Available in 10x, 16x and 20x, with mil dot reticle.


    why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....
