Interested in your other feedback on the scope. I had a 3-24x52 ffp and have posted my thoughts about it quite a few times to share with others because it is one of my most regretted gear purchases.
The reticle deal would bother me, not sure what would be worse, having to eyeball where 20x is or needing to be @ 25x to use the reticle.
I love the form factor and turrets on those scopes and have always wondered if they would have been able to get a more user friendly model (diopter, parallax, eye box, reticle usefulness) if they gave up a chunk of the magnification range.
