I've been using this scope with mildot reticule this year for F-open and it has performed very well. Typically I like Leupold on my target rifles and I would say that the 10-50x60 SIII is on par with all the Leupolds in my safe. Don't expect to be able to crank it up to 50x every day though. When there is a lot of humidity and mirage in the air then it'll really show up at that high of power.
