is it better to have a scope with big or small crosshairs for grouping and far shots?

Depends on the situation. The remedy to that very question was the development of the "Duplex" reticle, which has the thick European-type crosshair on the outer edge of the field, and fine crosshairs at the aiming point.

thin crosshairs for grouping!! ever looked through a benchrest scope? Big crosshairs are good for hunting, they give a sense of security when you are preparing to fire. I like em thin.

Just remember: The thicker the cross-hairs, the less of your target you can actually see!I have a Swarvorski 6X36 with a duplex reticle, however at 100yds, my 3/4" spot is completely covered even by the thinner line ... meaning I can miss the spot entirely if its centered in any of the 4 "Hairs" as opposed to centered between all 4 of the hairs
