I have 2 Leupold VX-II 3x9x40 on my deer rifles...one a Ruger .243 and one a Knight Disc...Both came with the standard reticle...I sent both back to Leupold and had the Heavy Duplex installed....I love it...easier to see during low light, easy to pickup in woods...and isn't too large to affect my long range shooting....I'm approaching 50...it sure helps as your eyes get older...
