    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.

    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...
