    I have the Mil Gap, which is close to the Canadian, and like it, but if I could switch it out I would go for the Mil MPR. The reason being is the .25 mil marks. It is hard for me to distinguish between .7 and .8 mils, and that makes a big difference.

    GB213, you have any reticle pics?
     
    Re: US Optics Canadian Reticle?

    I had a Canadian for a while. The reticle is perfectly fine, similar to NF's F1 MLR, but nothing about it particularly warmed my balls. I'd still prefer a Gen II MilDot, given the choice. IMHO hashes spaced 0.2Mrad apart at the edges just don't work as well in practice as they might on paper.

    Not to pic nits, but the MPR isn't .25 mil. MPR goes mil, .2mil, .5mil, .8mil, next mil.

    My favorite USO reticle so far.

    The MPR was way to busy for my taste, and I didnt like the fact that the Canadian didnt have the the graduation numbers, and it only went down to 5 mils. The GAP was the choice for me. It goes down to 9 mils. I can just hold 6 mils and get to 1k without thouching the scope with the GAP.

    GAP or good old GenII Mildot would probably be the best for you.
