...anyone using this reticle? I just bought a VX-III 4.5-14X50 with the B&C reticle to put on my .300 Win. Mag and was wondering what others that have experience with it think. I can't wait to mount it up and get it dialed in.

i have one on my rum. I works real good. just takes some time to get it dialed in with your gun. Just take some time with it and you will love it.

I also have the B&C reticle on my 7mm RUM. It definitely took me some time to warm up to it. I still wonder if I shouldn't have just went with the regular duplex. It is a little too "busy" for me at times. Also, since it is a second focal plane reticle, you need to be aware of what power setting your on when you dial in your loads. The holdover marks will change at different power settings.

I have the VX-III 3.5-10X40 B&C on my Tikka 300WSM. Love the clarity and ruggedness of Leupold glass! I haven't spent enough time on learning the reticle to be much help there :sry:.

I have a VXIII in 3.5-10 on my Browning stainless stalker in 325wsm. Sighted in correctly for the load and with the dial set as it should be, it will make short work of long shots. Have used it using the different elevation marks to take several deer and an elk that were between 300-400 yards. Animals were all ranged and then just split the 300 and 400 yard crosshairs, all three were nuts on one shot kills. Have played with it at the range out to 550 yards quite a few times, and it works quite well. The other elk I shot with the gun was at 200 yards, so no need for anything but the central crosshair. I love the scope, but it does take some getting used to. I feel it's very easy to get familiar with if you just go to the range and play with it.
