One thing I forgot...

Burris scopes can often be had as a "twofer". Buy the scope of your choice at about 'normal' price and they will throw in a GPS, binoculars, range finder, spotting scope or a rimfire scope. I have done this a couple of times. Got the rimfire scope as well as binoculars. No flys on either of 'em.

The BDC reticule is straightforward and uncluttered. The scope comes with some papers which detail common caliber/bullet weights along with zero distances indicating which hash mark means what for an assortment of cartridges.

My shooting doesn't depend on knowing the difference between 8 inches of drop and 10 so I do not worry over it much. If I were going after p-dogs or such at distance, I might worry more but, so far, I've stuck to big critters at middlin' distances.
