Reticle for Smallbore Prone ?

[chkunz]

What scope reticle do you recommend for smallbore prone?

 

[Redd]

As in F Class , NF CTR-2 ....crosshair with a dot

I like dots best, but a duplex will work too.

What size dot do you use? Thx in advance.

I use a Trijicon 5-20X50 Accupoint with a standard Duplex reticle and a illuminated green dot on my prone rifle. The green dot really stands out against the black scoring ring.

Clyde, I try to use the same reticle as on my Highpower prone guns. For consistency. In my case a duplex.

I'm using a 4-20 Sightron STAC with their MOA-2 reticle for rimfire F-Class. It has a centre dot detached from the crosshair, plus "ladder rungs" at 2 moa intervals. I believe the centre dot is 1/8 moa.

Fine crosshair with a 1/8 min dot.

3/8 dot is what I use in SB on a straight 30x Leupold.

I use a 1/2moa dot in 30x Leupold. Ever old eyes see it most of the time.

Jack, thanks for the reply.
I like your logic but when I started using scopes in high power some years ago, I bought Leupold scopes with the 1/8 MOA dots and I liked that reticle very much for that application, being able to see the dot in the X ring was great. Now with aging eyesight it is a strain on the eye. I am slowly gradating to a ring reticle that is much easier to see. It seems like for SB prone more scope power to see bullet holes and a larger dot may work better for the SB application.
Best wishes

It is looking like I need a larger dot on more magnification to see bullet holes.

This sound more like what I need.
Can you cite a source for this scope?
I have done some looking online but have not found what you describe.

I prefer a fine ch but switched my smallbore gun to duplex because I can lose the fch in indoor matches.

They were Silhouette scopes, not made any longer. But if you watch on some web places they can be had, sometimes with a 1/2 min dot too. I have a 25x and 30x, same configuration.
