I want to know if the new Leupold Boone and Crockett Big Game Reticle is good or bad for big game hunting? I not sure if I would like it or not? Anyone who has a opinion is welcome. Still considering a 4.5-14x50mm, just don't know if I want the Regular Duplex reticle, or the new B&C reticle? If anyone has any experience with this please let me know how you like or don't like it! Thanks

To bad you didn’t get a response. I was also curious on the Boone and Crocket reticle.
I also would like to say that I have two Leupold scope with 50mm objective lens and have not regretted at all. Lots of guys don’t like the big lens because the scope has to be mounted higher and that factor doesn’t bother me. The one advantage I like is the field of view. If you have the opportunity check them both side by side and you should see a difference. Good Luck....]

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.

I don't know about all thoes bells and whistles I guess one could get use to them. I have regular Plex Recticles on all my scopes. Good luck.

I have a ballistic plex on my varmit rifle but I originally bought it for a biggame setup, I never liked it so I switched to the varmit setup where I have found it useful. It depends on your situation like bigbulls said.

I am not sure it worth the extra money they are asking though for most Big Game setups and think it might make for those who don't have the ability to shoot longer distance to in still a false sense of security(not saying this is you or anyone else that maybe interested in this type of reticle!!). The long n short is most guys know their scopes, guns, bullets and range limits with a regular reticle. Those who are truly skilled and able to take extra long shots might benefit from the detail given by the B&C reticle but for the average hunter with shots 300 or under being the norm to me it seems like a waste of money. However only the guy buying and using it can make the call.

I have heard mixed reviews from it is quite nice to I wouldn't bother the next time, so again I think it boils down to personal preference and usage.

If you do buy one lets us all know your thoughts.

Good Luck
