If you're interested in mil-dots, I [b]highly[/b] recommend the [url=http://www.premierreticles.com/gen2.html]Gen2 Mil-dot[/url] reticle produced by [url=www.premierreticles.com]Premier Reticles[/url].  I have these in 2 rifle scopes and my spotting scope and their accuracy and ease-of-use is outstanding!  

I was milling targets Monday while a heavy wind buffeted my spotting scope, making it impossible to get a steady sight picture (imagine trying to measure something while your ruler keeps oscillating).  Despite the wind, I was able to consistantly arrive at range estimates within 5% of the actual distance, something I'd not been able to do with the standard mil-dot reticle.*  On one target my ranging error was less than [u]1%[/u] off!  Sweet.

*[i]Lots of competent shooters get great results with standard M-D reticles, so please don't think I'm making that version out to be a bad choice; it's just that the Gen2 works very well for me.[/i]
