Comparing Element Titan 3-18x50 for field target against Sightrons and Athlon

[RScott]

A new point of interest in comparing the TWO different versions of the Element Titan 3-18X50 (34mm scope tube body) FFP / IR

MOA has 3 hold over points zero to one - or 3 tick marks before your large line (bottom picture)

MRAD has 4 hold over points zero to one - or 4 tick marks before your large line (top Picture)

what this means to my eyes and brain - is it's easier to differentiate on those dicey close range holdovers having that one extra line of markation.

Thoughts?

I much prefer the bottom reticle because of the simple numbering system. Each dash is 1 and every heavy line is numbered. I find my SIII 10-50x60 MOA-H has too few reference numbers so that it is possible to mistake which dash to use for the holdover.

I agree with you… why are they so stingy with their numbers?
