The perfect hunting scope.

My only criteria, go or no go, does the scope hold zero. All other factors are irrelevant if the scope can't hold zero and track. Don't ask me how I know.

I grew up with tasco Mag IVs. I can remember shooting my rifle and it being off but not having enough ammo to attempt to zero and hitting a deer high. It ran, I aimed low and hit it with the second and third shots.

I also remember once I decided to experiment with shooting a deer in the liver at ~125 yards. Didn’t realize scope was off. Drilled shoulders/spine and he dropped.

Lots of other unexplainable misses.

If trijicon would make that scope in FFP for their mil dot reticle and put a dialing turret on the elevation, I'd buy 3 of them.

if they’d leave their duplex reticle but just make it dialable. Or put a duplex in the 3-12 Huron and add an exposed elevation turret.

I do not mind the bullet drop compensator aspect of their BDC radicals, what bothers me is how wide they make the windage parts. I’m highly unlikely to need more than 6moa of windage, ever.

All of the hunting scopes need a LOT less windage. I don't know anyone that shoots at moving animals at distances that need that much windage, and I don't know anyone shooting 500 yards in 60kts of wind.

But bro I saw that sniper movie where some guy was doing clicky things with his scope and he had what looked like an excel spreadsheet in the display, bro.....
