hehe. Thanks guys, yea. But here in Canada there's some silly rules and we can't get the good scopes how we want them. Can't get FFP Leupold 8-25, it's not allowed for export, can't get Nightforce with zero-stops, those aren't allowed, etc etc.
And with further circumspection my original interpretation of the reticle may have been wrong, perhaps the spacing of the hash marks can still only be read at the ranging magnification setting, and it's just the width of the lines that varies between models.
