    Hi Mike,

    Plain old duplex is my favorite. It does have a firedot though have not used it yet.
    Apparently there is a reticle level feature that tells you if your canted, again still yet to try this feature.

    cool, i went with Impact -29 reticule and the leveling feature is neat gimick but I found I prefered no illumination and old school anti cant bubble.
    clicks do not fell as good as NF but other than I really like it.

    What do you think of the impact reticle? Feel odd with the crosshair not in the middle?

    My reticule looks like this, reticule is centered. I really like it. Was worried it will be too busy but the dots fade away till you need them

    Yeah I have the AMR reticle and was worried too, but after first sight in was not bothered at all and doesn't seem to obscure view.

    Far out, sounds like heaps of shit to go wrong then

    10/22 rework coming along nicely, get my Cerakote up and going and there'll be a neat little job done to the stainless...

    Might just have to get it sighted in in between times...
