Sightron S-Tac moa for hunting ?

[Willoughby]

has anyone tried using a Sightron S-Tac with the moa reticle for hunting ? looks like the reticle may be to thin -looking for anyone with experience with this reticle in the woods

I've always loved my Sightron SIII scopes, but the reticle lines in the S-Tac series are way too thin for hunting. I bought one for one of my 22's, and returned it after taking it out of the box. Looking at the tree line on my fence, I couldn't even see the reticle.

thanks -saved me from trying that reticle -their duplex is heavy enough to hunt with , I have a couple of them- the moa reticle is on sale now - looks like it'd be good for paper

I have a 4-20x50 with the MOA reticle. It's doable, but not ideal for hunting. I also have the 3-16x42 model with the duplex, and it is much better for hunting applications.

I just put two on rifles one for Egg Shoots 3-16(16x limit) and one for colony varmints 4-20. I might take the 3-16 out in open country for coyotes during full daylight but it would be one of my last choices for any cover or even mildly low light.
