    I am running three of these https://www.reloaders.co.nz/shop/Opt...R+Reticle.html

    .22WMR
    .17HMR
    .177 springer

    Highly recommended for the WMR which is now my go to rabbit gun if shooting rimfire.
    It's FFP so it doesn't matter what magnification you are on, the reticle is spot on to your drop tables, which does significantly increase your shooting range on the WMR.
    At 6x or greater the reticle is perfectly sized for hold over. Below that you use it like a duplex.
    In low light you dial in a low illumination of the reticle and you can shoot way easier than with a black reticle.
    After dark, crank it back to 4x, dial up the illumination, and under spotlight you have the perfect possum/rabbit spotlighting rig.
    Glass is excellent.
    They are built like tanks, so there are lighter options around, but for the money and the features I don't think you will find better.

    PS. I did take Leupold and Vortex off (both good scopes) to fit these.
    Moa Hunter and Ftx325 like this.
