Did you get a scope with the varmit reticale? I tried useing a leupold with a varmit retile on a 7mm-Remington Ultra Mag. I ended up switching scopes out before the end of rifle seasonthat year. I put a scope with a hunting stylereticle on the 7mm R.U.M.
The good news is I had an excuse to buy a new varmit rifle, for the varmit scope.
