By spring i will have a completed a 22” sporter Bartlein on SSS sporter stock for deer. I’m looking at a Nikon Black X1000 second plane because of positive reviews for good enough glass, really nice turret adjustment, and value point.
With whatever scope I get I will buy custom dial(s) starting at 235 years probably, did the same with a Leupold low profile on a Rem 700 270 win. That puts the dial marks beyond 500 yards which is plenty.
This scpoe has two reticles, XMOA and XMRAD, neither of which I’m familiar with. Would a ballistic dial work better with one reticle over the other? Any reason to buy illuminated reticle for hunting? Any reason a 6x24 would be a penalty over a 4x16 other than being two louder on the bottom end?
i Suppose I could learn to calculate reticle hash marks, but range finders and custom turrets are easy.
Thanks,
