Question about B&C reticle with CDS

Am I missing something? I’m seeing a lot of scopes with the Boone and Crocket reticle with the CDS dial. Seems to me you would want one or the other, but not both?

I agree it is very nice to just have a scope that’s not busy, kind of like a single pin sight on a bow.

So for my woods gun I have the Leupold Freedom 3-9x40 with the Tri-MOA reticle, but mine is one of the early ones before they offered CDS, which they now do offer. This simple reticle gives you all you need for accurate hunting ranges to 400 yards, easily. You could always try this out and get the CDS when/if you desire. Yes, I have experience with Dead Hold and B&C type reticles and would choose CDS first by far. And yes, I do have CDS from Kenton Industries and they are spot on out to 600 yards. You just have to understand limitations of CDS and maybe even have two elevation turrets cut for temp and elevation considerations.

I get what you're saying but really what's the downside about having both options? The cds doesn't take up any more space than a regular capped turret and can be locked on zero just the same. The B&C reticle limits you to 600 yds and isn't going to be a perfect fit for every cartridge. The B&C reticle isn't that "busy" by drop compensating reticle standards and having the option to use either method sounds like a win-win to me.

For sure its a personal preference decision, cant lose either way. I do use the Tri-MOA reticle for my lightweight walk around in the woods gun, but also have rifles that I dial where/when I hunt areas that I glass and take longer shots.

Yeah, I was just curious. For me, even if it is 300 yds I will just dial. Quick, easy, and simple.
