The problem with it is the reticle is terrible

Which reticle? The credo reticle?

That's interesting. As far as reticles go it's certainly not the worst like a x-mas tree.

Specify the reticle by name, its not at all clear which reticle is terrible.

My interpretation of ^^ is he’s referring to the trijocon credo 2-10x36 reticle being terrible. It’s a different reticle than whats available in the 2.5-15 or any of their other scopes as far as I can tell. I wholeheartedly agree with it being terrible, for me at least it is functionally bordering on un-useable as a hunting reticle, and is every bit as bad as the PRS X-mas tree reticles—it IS a tree reticle. Folks who hunt in different areas may find it less bad than I do, but I doubt anyone will say it’s really what they want. @Hnthrdr I know you have a different reticle aesthetic than many, but I think its fair to say that while you and I may be on opposite ends of the reticle spectrum, very few people find those reticles “good”.
In any case, it’s still more $$$$ than the op is looking for, and imo at that price there’s other better options, so not sure it gets him anywhere.

Low power and high:

A picture of which reticle you have in mind would be helpful here.

There’s only one for mrad and one for moa for the 2-10x36. I have the mrad but the moa is basically the same. It’s too thin on 2x and too busy on 10x. Otherwise a great scope.

I've only killed 4 North American rams, a NWT MacKenzie Mountains Dall and 3 DIY Montana Unlimited unit Bighorns. The longest shot was 207 yds on the Dall.

All were one shot DRT kills with my .257 Ackley wearing a Leupold 6X, and Sierra 117 gr GameKing bullets.

I recently "upgraded" the scope on that rifle with a Leupold VX3 4.5-14x40 with their B&C reticle.

What's a SWFA?

Other than the B&C reticle, I'm not sure it was an upgrade from the fixed 6x to the 4.5-14, durability wise.
