Mrbb most of my scopes have a simple duplex reticle wich is sufficient for most all my hunting. I have a couple that have a BDC type reticle but only one that I ever worked with. That is a Burris Fullfield 3-9x. That BDC is spot on out to 500 yards with my 270 Win load. This is the rifle that I used for all my hunts out west and was always successful with it.
