Good, tiny reticle - Trijicon ACOG 4x32 Rifle Scope with Dual Illumination ACSS Reticle

I had held off getting an ACOG just because I couldn't understand why they cost so much. Now I do and the price is not unreasonable. The glass is amazingly clear and the 4x mag is very good for anything 500 or closer. This reticle does not lend itself well to this scope. I had to get online and memorize where the numbers are because they are so small that you can't read them. I think I could use this effectively with some practice now that I have memorized what the different lines mean, but that is a moderate detractor. The illumination is great. It seems like it is very rugged. Super easy to install. I like this reticle but in this form factor it is not so easy to use. I may pick up another, cheaper optic with the same reticle somewhere down the line and see if it is more user friendly.
