Re: What Horus reticle for S&B?
As far as “switching” is concerned, all Horus reticles operate on the same software set up and once the final solution is determined, the shot can be taken on any of their reticles. I find the 59 is good at closer ranges in decent wind conditions that may not require excessive holdovers. I use a 59 on my 300RUM but going out further with my AX338 or M99, I use a 37. Like many of the reviews for these reticles, you either love them or hate them but I have used Horus for many years and prefer them over other options. Just as Steve123 has described, each one has its place depending upon the type of shooting you plan on for the majority of the time. The 37 also gives you more grids to work with at a higher magnification. A typical holdover with my 416 at 1600 yards is roughly 12. I can still see the 12 grid at full magnification on a 37 while the 59 would need a lower magnification to see the grid. In closing, if you primarily intend to shoot targets that could be moving within medium range go with a 59. If you intend to shoot static targets at very long range, go with a 37. Just my opinion and I am sure there are several others.
