Reticles are extremely ballistic specific and are not advertised as so, got ripped off as a result. - Shepherd Scopes BRS 4-16x44mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, FFP

I was wrong about this scope. At first I loved it but after using it for a while realized the ranging was all messed up and didn't seem to be right for my 22lr PRS. Did some investigation & found the actual BRS-22lr reticle and it does not align one little bit with the BRS-1 that I bought. Investigated further and realized the stinking BRS-1 reticle is designed for 6.5 Creedmore, 300 win mag, or 338 Lapua,! WTC?!? I don't use any of these calibers, I would have never bought this had I known. No wonder the ranging doesn't work worth beans for me.
I'm pretty upset about it, feel like I got royally burned on this scope because I misunderstood the description and there was no caliber specific information with each reticle to correct any misunderstanding. The caliber the reticle is specifically designed for should be in the information below each reticle. Especially since Shepherd's reticles are extremely caliber specific! It turns out that what I got in this stinking BRS-1 amounts to a glorified cross-hair red dot. I can't even use this stupid thing as it should be used with my long range 5.56 either so I'm completely screwed over because of not being provided adequate information to know what calibers each reticle is designed for so I could have made the right choice. My suggestion is forget Shepherd and buy a scope that clearly informs you of what caliber it is designed for so you don't get burned and stuck with a scope that is not fully usable.
Pros:
Great scope if you know which reticle matches the caliber you need it for
Cons:
ALL reticles very caliber specific not clear what caliber each reticle is designed for
too easy to pick the wrong reticle
stuck with the wrong ballistic reticle for what you are shooting
no caliber information provided with each reticle picture so you know what it is designed for
Best Used for:
the caliber the reticle is designed for
Would Recommend:
No
