Should be in the optics section. Lol

Anyway, what exactly are they promoting with this scope. They say it uses a “M450 Bushmaster duplex reticle”. A duplex reticle hasn’t changed, as far as I know. Do they mean it’s a scope that can handle 450B but has a duplex reticle?

Moved.

Its a conventional Duplex Reticle with each elevation click equaling 1/10 mil adjustment for the 250gr FTX factory load (2200fps) according to Midway. FWIW, the Brownell's price beats
Midway's price by $40

Has CDS top dial and a windage knob that I'm not sure on how it's calibrated.

Buddy has one on his RAR, I can tell you firsthand it's dead nutz from 100 to 200yds with factory ammo, never tried it out to 300. Really clear glass for the price.

Hey Al in MI, what length barrel is your buddy using? I'm planning to get this scope, but with a 16" barrel and I'm not sure how far off it would be from my actual POI.

Edit: Never mind, just realized RAR = Ruger American Rifle. I'm an idiot lol.
