Gents,
I've used the Horus Vision reticles in a few scopes, and while they are ok for static positions where time is of no concern for you, they're ok. For my application, where time is extremely critical, they are a non-starter, especially at distance. You get lost really quick when you're looking at 7.2 Mils of elevation, and 2.3 Mils of windage, take the shot, need to correct...wait where's the 7.2 increment...ok....what windage was I on? How much did I need to come left from that?...It just spirals downhill from there.
I am a firm believer in simple reticles with a clear, center point of aim with fine lines to delineate the aiming point with. If all you will do is sit at a bench and shoot groups at various distances, I would still recommend a rugged, target knob-equipped scope with solid gears. Once you're dialed to elevation and windage, which is easy to do quickly once you spend time with your scope, you can use the same aiming point every time, and make better corrections for wind.
