    Curious, aren't those reticles made for shotguns and muzzleloaders?

    Don't know about using them for shotguns, but tomorrow I'll check the ER on all of them again, but as I remember none of them were any farther than the spread of my hand, at least at 9x.

    The scopes are advertised for shotguns and muzzle loaders, but I don't know that the reticles are particularly specialized. The Multi-X is nothing more than a duplex.

    Sorry I was talking about the circle X.

    Ah, so, yes, the circle x seems more like a shotgun reticle, for quick target acquisition, maybe. I'm still not sure why you would use any different reticle for a muzzle loader.

    Leupold has introduced a new "Scout" scope this year, 2-7 x 30something, illuminated reticle, that has my attention. It's spec sheet lists 6 inches of eye relief. Why they call that a Scout scope, I have no idea.

    I thought a scout scope would have more eye relief than that, it sits on the barrel, not the receiver.

    Measured the ER of my 3 scopes today at only 9x for full sight picture. The circle Banner is right at 2.25", the multu-x is right at 2.5 and the Nikon is 3.5". Guess which one is staying. They may work at 6" at some power, but most likely I'll be using 9.

    If the eye relief is that low at 9x, I can't believe it gets much better at 3x. That is disappointing.

    I was mis-remembering. The Leupold with 6 inch eye relief is the VX-R 1.5-5x33 Firedot. Besides being expensive, it has a 30mm tube.

    Not that disappointing given how the Banner scopes distort the area around the center.
