Rifle Scopes Reticles Gen II, EBR-2, EBR-2B or MPR

[RingingSteel]

I have been in the market for a higher end scope for some time now. The two in which I have narrowed my choice down to are the Vortex Razor HD and a USO 3.8-22 T-PAL. I though I would try to obtain some constructive opinions on a reticle choice.

The majority of my shooting is in an competive atmosphere at steel targets ranging from 25 to 1200 meters.They range in size from 3/4 to 4 MOA. We usally have several target aquisition stages which will have steel at different distances in the same shot string. The times are limited so a scope that will ease the process of hold overs is highly desireable because of no time for turrent adjustment. About 70% of the time there will be between a 1/4 and 3/4 mil full value wind at 500 meters which make a couple the options mentioned in the subject line some what attractive. I shoot a 6.5x47 Lapua so 200, 300, 385 and 500 meter hold overs are aprox .5, 1.2, 2.0 and 3.0 mils.

Which reticle do you feel would be best for my application?

I cant say enough good things about the EBR-2B. I love the way the very center is open so you know exactly where you are aiming and the hold over dots would be great if you had to hold both windage and elevation without time to dial.

I like the MPR very much.

I think Vortex has a good thing going. But with the EBR-2B I'm not sure if the numbers on the right side of the lower cross hair would cover up a 1 MOA target with a 1/2 mil left wind hold. I like the numbering on the EBR-2 but have heard that the tree was too light to see at the lower powers. The Gen II has nothing for wingage on the three mil hold which we use quite often.
