Recticle advice

[ledders666 6]

Im saving for a new scope, im set on the Hawke Panorama EV 3-9x40 IR AO. But I cant decide on what reticle, either half mil dot or MAP6. It will be mounted on a AA s200 .177. the gun is used both for hunting and hft stye range i have set up.

 

Does anyone have any advice on which would be better and why?

 

Thanks

No choice at all Sir,

 

The Mil/half Mildot will serve you well

A Mildot / Halt Mildot scope is far superior Multi Aim Point system

The M(ulti) A(im) P(oint) 6 gives you a choice of aim points at 6x Magnification.

 

A Standard Mildot (not Milradian) system will give you a far greater 'Aim Point' The extra 'half' (ribbon) dot makes it easier to make the precise shot at such and such a distance

get a sight with loads of standard mil dots .map6 sr12 ect work but i think it is just gimmick to make you buy buy buy .I have map6 sr 12 and mil dot sights .once you use and understand mil dot sight it is best.but i must say there is a lot of aim pionts on my sr12 scope.

For .177 I would use a half mildot as the MAP 6 is mainly designed for a .22 out to 50 yards-ish. The MAP 6 is a good ret though as proven with Rogers AA S410 once calibrated.

 

A half mildot will give you very precise aim points when correctly calibrated in 2 metre intervals if you know how.

 

Putting data into Chairgun needs to be done very accurately though and the BC needs to be known for that rifle and pellet combo and not off the tin or from Chairguns data base.

regaurding the reticule and illiminated, you want centre only, not the ones with a huge thick band all around the outside, i find them quite dazzling.

half mildot is the nicest by a far margin
