It looks like it's the BDC reticle, it doesn't have the taller style target knobs like the ones I have owned before.

Post by: gadwall on March 18, 2012, 09:01:05 AM: Let's see a long range target one of these days. What powder/bullet combo do you like in the RUM? I don't have one but I will be loading for a buddy sometime soon. Thinking about the 180 accubond and R-25 or Retumbo.
