Does anybody use the Leupold Varmint Reticle?

I am looking for a new scope for my 22-250. I use this rifle for everything from gophers to coyotes.

I am curious if anybody has used the varmint reticle and is it accurate?

I know that some people have used the B&C reticle on there bigger rifles for hunting and the like it, but I have not heard about the varmint reticle.

Thanks

I just picked one of these up for my Swift. I have it mounted and took it to the range just to shoot at 100. I haven't had the opportunity to try the different ranges with this reticle yet though. I will get to that as soon as we get some improved weather. It needs to get done before the woodchucks start showing themselves.

Graylake ,
I've had one for a few months and made a few good shots with it . Bear in mind that you can adjust the power setting up or down from Leupold's recommended settings to fine tune the reticle to your rifle's trajectory . Can also adjust the range at which you zero the rifle to get it really close .
Ideally an exterior ballistics program and some range time are needed to make the most of it .


The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.

Thanks for the help guys.

I am really considering this scope.

I have also been thinking about a way to use the ranging feature for coyotes. Since a coyotes ribcage is bigger that the 2.33 moa, say 3 moa then that would make the coyotes around 386 yards.

Since I use this rifle/scope combination for both types of varminting I need a scope that is dual purpose.

Thanks again
