Default RE: Leupold Recticle?

IMO a range finding reticle has absolutely no place in a big game hunting scope.

That B&C reticle has a whole bunch of crap to add to the confusion of making a very quick shot on an animal that does not want to be there.

If you sit atop a rock, or in a "Texas" blind quietly waiting all day for a calm animal to mozy on out and feed and have the time to laser range the animal it would work fine but I would not have one with the kind of hunting that I like to do.

Besides many of the reticles are etched with specific length thick and thin lines that will allow you to adjust for bullet drop. You just have to shoot the rilfe and learn at what range the bullet hits at the junction of the thick and thin line.
