Is anyone using this retricle on a Leupold scope? Like it?

I am thinking of getting the 6.5-20 x 40 for my CZ 527 Varmint in a 1" tube and the vhr looks interesting.

Earl3B: Have two of them on 6.5-20X LR Lupy's, love them even though most of the time I "dial-a-rat". If you need to make a quick shot, they are excellent for the task at hand. Even when dialing, the wind hold-off hash marks are an excellent reference for the range being engaged.

My next varmint scope will have that reticle, and the next big game scope I buy will have their Boone & Crocket reticle in it. Good stuff. ;)

Varmint reticle for squirrels.

That's a good one, Critter. Maybe Leupold could do a special order scope with a transparent Hillary at the crosshairs? :D

Thanks, Rick. Sounds like you're very pleased with that reticle. Now to just locate a low price with some good service. ;)

I just ordered the Leupold # 62170 scope with the Varmint hunters reticle. Got it from swfa, price included freebie alumina flip back lens covers and free shipping, not a bad deal.

Can't wait to start taking (making??) those 500+ yard shots on Chucky and Woody. :D

I have the 6.5-20x40 30mm tube fine recticle on my Ruger No. 1
I have the 8.5-25x50 30mm tube Varmint recticle on my savage 12LRPV

If i had to go back and do it again, i'd have the 8.5-25x50 varmint recticle on my ruger as well.

This guy is CHEAP! And he's a stand up guy. I bought both those scopes from him. Both scopes come with a 2" shade.

Depends on what cal you shoot and what grain bullet and FPS. I believe there 12x for the some triangle and 14x for the big triangle. Have to take a look at the one on the AR tonight.
