I hear what you’re saying. Thing is this new-to-us rifle I’m hoping to get will be used for double the range and more. Was using one yesterday to replicate what @rossi.45 was doing - 230m with subs. Was heaps easier than I ever imagined. But the amount of hold over at that range is quite something. So if I’m dialling I’m going to need plenty of elevation and if I hold I need a reticle that will give me the info.

I don’t much like big elevation holds where I can’t also hold for wind accurately on the same hash line.

But I do hear whay you’re saying, some of you fellas have lifetime’s more experience with the rimfire than me. I started with them obviously in the 80s but didn’t have one for probably over 20 years. Wasn’t much use for them where I was.
