Well the idea of the reticle sounds really cool and if you take the time to learn the use of it... it would be ok.. But in real life we don't always have that much time to use these neat features. The thing is just a little confusing....and i am a gadget nut...not as bad as Fabs you understand...??. I also have a Boone and Crockett Reticle on my 300 Win Mag. Scope is a VXIII 4.5X14Long Range and it works pretty good. Not as confusing as the Varmint reticle. Also...a little side note...I don't really think you need the 50 MM scope either. Varminting is done in brighter parts of the day for the most part so I would get the 40 MM objective and 30 MM tube. No coyotes(not many yet) here but that ought to be a really neat rig for the critters you intend to hunt. I would probably just get the duplex reticle...cheaper and cleaner field of view Just my opinion. I put the same scope on a Ruger 1 in 243 If'n I don't hit it I screwed up...not the gun for certain...well most of the time!
