That's great NM, now to my point....

Why can't I find a simple reticle at multiple shops, including a few big ones?

That's my point. My point is not that a shooter cannot make use of bdc type options. My point is that everything is marketed to that, to the point that it's difficult- in Ohio at least- to find a basic reticle or a straight 4 or 6 power scope in stock on the shelf.

Most of the people buying a .350 in Ohio will never practice with it past 100 yards. Most will never even understand how the reticle behaves at different powers. Or the ffp/sfp stuff.

They see the bdc reticle and decide they're good to go at 250. They can't even properly guestimate what 250 looks like and they aren't spending the money on a range finder to find out.

Most. Not you. Not everyone. But, most.

Anyway, it's hard to find a straight 4 power simple option in the stores here. And it shouldn't be.

Oh, also, i have several bdc type scopes and i know how to use them on the rifles they're on, but that took some work. It's not just plug and play like most people think. I'm not hating. I'm just saying it shouldn't be hard to find a simple reticle and the counter workers automatically say "you don't want that, check this thing out...."
