Yr spot on marksman...
I have a Zeiss Conquest hd 5-25x50 with varmint hunter reticle...
I find the reticle is too thick for daytime varmint/target shooting...particularly beyond 300yds.
On the other hand it is dynamite for spotlighting by way of easy & rapid target/reticle aquisition...particularly when stretching the limits of the spotlight where contrast levels are low at best.
From what ive seen i like the Leupold, but im stuck with mine now.
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...
