Re: Your perferred reticle type

Some of the horus reticles (I hope I have this correct) that are offered by Leupold in their Mark 4's are just horrendous.
Some of them are so cluttered and compacted I can't see how they can be more useful than a mildot or emdr.
This is just my personal opinion based on not having to shoot at another person at long range with any type of reticle.
The only shooting I have ever done at another person is as a boy on the farm when we would have "BB" gun wars. Shoot each other with BB guns instead of cap guns. Also, a firecracker in a fresh cow patty makes for a great green claymore! </div></div>
I own 2 Leupolds with Horus, including a Leupold 6.5-20x50 with Horus. I know a few fellow snipers with the same Mk4 with Horus 37s/58s. No complaints from any guys in my community. I prefer the Horus H58/59 Reticles, As a military shooter I learned the basics on the Mil-dot but transferred all my optics to Horus minus my original NF F1 MLR. Horus will probably be sticking around for military shooters. They are already popping up on MK13 SWSs and M2010s and most likely on future SASS platforms.
