Mike, If you get the flags as close as you can height wise down range, how many can you see through the scope at 100/200. With my regular reticle I see the tops of 2.
I want to see as much of and as many as I can. The ones that are too far to see subtle changes in with the naked eye are what are what I hope to see. So I'm hoping to get all of at least two in the scope at 200. Magnification reduces field of view, so it's not apples to apples if I say I can get 3 in the bottom om my 40x and you're shooting a 48x..or 60x or whatever. I've tilted back toward slightly less magnification while the trend has been the opposite. I'm currently running two 40s and a 42.Mike, If you get the flags as close as you can height wise down range, how many can you see through the scope at 100/200.

Not that I'm aware of.Does anybody know if they make that type of lr reticle for a nightforce 42x competition?
Dan. I have a couple of LR reticles that I have had since 2014. I used them once in a while only at 2-300 yards and meters but to be honest with u I'd rather look down range with my left eye and see my flags and probes rather than have more flags in the scope because sometimes when I concentrate on more flags in the scope than usual I get tunnel vision.I was thinking of sending off my March 48x high master to Japan to have the LR reticle installed for 250. Hoping to see a few more flags in my field of view. Anybody have some real world reviews on this?
Thank you
That's a good point but you still have to watch them all. The ones in the scope just show the subtle changes that you can't see on any flag past about 100 yards out or so. If you're not watching the whole field of flags, you're gonna get bit by something that you should've seen coming. Sometimes all these things that sound so simple are easier said than done. It takes time to become proficient at flag reading and I think we're all still learning that skill.I have a couple of LR reticles that I have had since 2014.

Thanks Jim. Lots of very valid points.Dan. I have a couple of LR reticles that I have had since 2014.

That's what I mean Mike. At 200 and 300 if you get tunnel vision and forget that you have the flags out front that you can't see in the scope you will get bit like you said. It came to me very quickly and easily how to keep both eyes open.That's a good point but you still have to watch them all.

I'm guilty of getting tunnel vision at times, with any reticle and especially in really light conditions. I tend to get lazy in those conditions and let my guard down at times. Tough, switchy stuff will keep you on your toes, even if the scores usually suffer in those conditions. Isn't it a great game, though? Lots of stuff to keep just right and stay on top of, to win in this game.That's what I mean Mike.
