Can you guys still shoot .5 MOA or less with those reticles that increase as the power gets turned up?

Not too much of a problem with duplex or #4 germans. Things with large dots in the middle can be a little off.

No problem using the plex-type reticles. The aiming mark must be a suitable size. Very handy that the reticle doesn't shift with a change in the magnification.

There is nothing smaller than the tip of the point of the post in a nr 1 reticle.

If one cant shoot with that reticle then one cant shoot at all or perhaps the gun is off.


However it takes some geting used to and with a scope with a x4-x6 magnifying range the reticle will get fairly large at full power.

Best regards Christian.

Yes, it's just a matter of using appropriate targets. Use ones that show white equally on all sides of the reticle and you'll be fine. Solid black reticles make it more difficult..........................DJ
