I'm considering going with the H-25 reticle on a couple USO 3.1-17 T-Pals (lit red).... (the MPR is on my short list also) They'd be on 308s for general tactical use. Anyone use this reticle routinely?, comments?

Re: Horus H-25 for general use?
I used an H25 for three years, in a U.S.O. scope.
One day it occurred to me that the need for high-speed multiple-target engagements was mostly as relatively short ranges. Distance gives you time to dial elevation.
It simultaneously occurred to me that I can shoot my .308 out to 600+ yards using only holdovers from a 100-yard zero, with a scope that has 5 mils of marks below the main reticle.
If that doesn't make sense to you, see this article:
Calculating Holdovers and Holdunders
Look down near the bottom of that article.
So, I sold that scope - the Horus reticle is a $500 option added to the price of most scopes, and it's not worth the money to me.

Thanks, It makes perfect sense..... those thoughts came to my mind as well. I was looking at the Mil Gap, MPR, then I thought i'd consider the Horus also.

It's my favorite reticle!
I like using holdovers except when I'm going to shoot at one distance for while,then I dial and use the main crosshair.

Re: Horus H-25 for general use?
I have Horus reticles in 3 scopes, I love the Horus but will not buy anymore. I somewhat agree with Lindy in that they're not "necassary", but it sure is nice. I just don't feel like it's worth $400 anymore.
