imo (take that for what it's worth) i think that ARC and BDC's are messing up optics in general. i have worked very hard at developing my skill at judging distance, using mil dots correctly, and knowing points of impact for my rifle at whatever range and load i'm shooting. i have it all MEMORIZED which to me is faste3r that pushing a button.

the BEST advice i ever got when i started hunting was no matter what, never take a first shot where your pin or crosshair is not covering fur. i followed that advice and i have developed a reputation as a guy that hit hard targets. practice makes perfect, not idiot proof equipment.

i really don't mean to sound so opinionated, but i just had to special order a scope without a bdc reticle. i live next to a stinking cabelas and bass pro shops, and i couldn't find a nikon scope without it that was in stock.
