A4 is there but no A4 Fine? Thanks anyway.

I had a Swarovski with the same reticle and you can lose a distant fox in all those black bars, sometimes to the point of having to drop the rifle to see if the target has gone...

Yeas its right, i enquired about a 8x56 with this ret at macleods and had a email off Gregor saying it was better for long range than the 7, just could not find a pic. As an aside i looked at a range of scopes yesterday including S&B and ordered a Meopta Meopro instead.

Hi there
S & B in A4 is a good general choice reticule.
As far as a fixed magnification choice is concerned, I think there is a lot to be said for choosing the same as your bino's which for all practical purposes means 8 x 56.
I have this and 8 x 56 bino's to match.
Nothing worse than glassing a buck with 12x something or other and thinking "in range", only to find that it may not be when you look through the scope!
If you go up a notch then 9 x 63 so as to keep the "7mm exit pupil times the magnification rule. Bino's might be a bit heavy though

I have an 4a on an S&B.
fine for deer excellent all round stalking reticule
bit tricky on small bulls on range targets and I can see how you would lose a fox

I have the Swaro TDSi and you can choose which eye on a 250y fox.
