On line the 3x9 is about $260 shipped to your door...
You know most of my scopes have a ballistic reticule - and it is nice to now that it is there if I wanted to use it - but I also sight the gun at a 6" point blank range - so most often I do not need it - but i do shoot at 200 just to see what line I would need to use if I chose the take that shot...
The other nice thing once you figer it out - the scope and reticule can be used as a range finder - close enough for hunting use.
It really is a beautiful scope - really looks like a real high dollar Leupold and carries the same warranty for life.
