Klein Reticles a good choice?

[Brandon7766]

I'm a beginner to long range tactical shooting, I plan to buy top notch glass to start with, cry once so to speak...I have been looking at the S+B 3-20 due out some time soon. Do you feel the Klein would be a great reticles to use? It seems basic yet advanced enough to be perfect for tactical competitions. The MSR is too busy to me, the H2CMR looks like the Klein but less symmetric, and the P4F doesn't look as good as the Klein. Anyone have opinions they can share?

The Klein is my favorite reticle from them, per-dates the Gen2 from Premier and works well.

I have several from back in 2004 and it's still my favorite.

The Klein used to be one of my absolute favorites. I also like the NF MLR2. The new (to us) MSR from SB will be my next scope. But why pay more for an MSR when the Klein is not a cost upgrade?

What is the circle for in the Klein reticle? And does it go away at higher magnifications?

The Circle is a Bryant not a Klein,

The Klein is just a GEN 2 Type reticle, mils with a 1/2 mil hash mark

PS, if you are looking on Google that "circle" is just showing you what they are showing, it is not part of the reticle

Ok, I was confused because Impact Data Books has that circle on the hold over page. So I thought it was part of it.

I have two Klein reticle scopes from S&B, marked "Klein Special Build" on them and none have that... Unless S&B added it after the fact, I am guessing it was sourced that way online and not from S&B directly.
