This will be an MOA reticle and I am designing it for 22x USO scopes. If it's really liked I'm sure it could be done for 17x 10x etc.
I am starting off with a pcmoa reticle because that is the thinnest lines and for me anyway seems like the most usable spacing and line thickness.
The goal when I started photoshopping was to eliminate stuff that wasn't used and take it out of the picture. I mean that is the whole idea with glass anyway right? To see the picture and not a bunch of extra lines.
So here is what we started out with... This wast he first time I used a camera with a scope so forgive the bad pics.
pcmoa at 150yds at 22x. http://i48.tinypic.com/98zsc2.jpg
-took out the top verticle line down to 10moa
-took the side lines down to 15moa L R
-reduced the size of the #s by 40%.
- added in long lines ever 5moa for easier counting
-added 1 moa hash marks on top verticl and side windage and down to 30moa down verticle...this might be over kill here.

The following pictures are comparisons at various distances with and with out the changes. Not all changes are included like the 5moa longer lines for easier counting, smaller numbers...would of taken forever. Note: I've always left in the down verticle line.

http://i49.tinypic.com/kezxpy.jpg 425 no lines - hard to see with the dark back drop -- see what 11x looks like when I get done.

let me know what you think and any suggestions/ideas to add. Thanks.
