Number one which of the two models is best for benchrest and also how can I find out if it's a fine Crosshair wreck tackle

Expert Answer

Answered by Jonathan D., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on June 19, 2018

It's personal preference between the 2 scopes as the only difference is the reticle. Both reticles are pictured, neither is a fine duplex.
