So when I started prairie dog hunting, I just used whatever I had. Found out pretty quickly that 3 x 9 wasn't enough power, 36X fixed I couldn't find dogs in an alfalfa field, and my 6 x 20 seemed to be the right power for me.
Then I bought my first FFP scope. Happened to be a Vortex Viper HS LR. Found my scope! For the shooting I do, it is perfect. A common shot is 200 yards, 10mph crosswind, and I know I need to hold 3 MOA into the wind. Accuracy is just as good as when there is no wind.

And if I had to do in a pinch, MOAH (much better option than MOA in my opinion).

But I like a reticle that has reference marks I can depend on. Some folks don't like the busy Christmas tree reticle.
