SR Pro Reticle

I have an sr pro and I love it I wish the illuminated part of the cross hairs was a little bigger but that's about as bad as it gets for me the range finder is ez to use and it dose not use a lot of the reticle space I also like the windage dots and lines for long distance shootings are also vary nice but that still all comes with practice the only con i have is i think they wasted some space with the overall cross hairs i think the mill dashes could have extended alot farther to the left and right and that would allow me to use hold more instead of changing my turrets but really I've never had to.

I find the SR Pro reticle to subtend a bit too much when shooting a longer ranges greater than 65 yards. By subtend I mean the thickness of the reticle tends to cover up too much of the target as a result of the reticles thickness. It's not so much a problem between 25 to 65 yards but can be challenging when shooting smaller targets at greater distances. For example, I print my targets using heavy card stock so I found it most cost effective to get as many targets as possible onto a single page without making them so small that the reticle covers up the target at 75 yards. In my experience, the smallest usable target at 75 yards using the SR Pro reticle is a .5" solid blue circle. Each sheet I print has twenty .5" solid blue circles. Even then, at 75 yards the cross-hair covers up most of the circle.

The SR Pro uses 1/4 MOA clicks which is only slightly more precise than 1/10 mil scopes. By slight I mean only .1" at 100 yards or 1" at 1000 yards. It's probably not enough for must shooters to be worried about. A great article if your interested in reading up on MIL vs MOA can be found here: http://precisionrifleblog.com/2013/07/20/mil-vs-moa-an-objective-comparison/

I hope that helps.

"ezerhoden14"That's something I noticed just from the images on Hawke's website, the center looks a bit thick compared to their standard 10x or 20x mil-dot scopes. I dont have the space to shoot more than about 70 yards for my backyard range and the maximum at my club is 100 yards. Likewise for the places I would be pesting.

One other question, if a 20x calibrated mil-dot scope makes each half dot a full mil on 10x... would that be the same for an 8x calibrated scope on 4x?

Yes the same principle applies, but it does assume accuracy of the scope; my Bushnell Elite 4200 scope is supposed to be true mildot at 12x, but it is actually true at indicated 12.9x.
