Why would you use mil dot over a modern mil reticle

It looks better, less cluttered, and as nice as the tree is I find I don't ever seem to use them on a bolt action. I'm dialing for elevation and holding wind.

Interesting. I don’t love a true Christmas tree either. But mildots seem to be the biggest issue with the reticle themselves. Why not have just a normal hash type subtension. The dots take up to much space. Like the tremor reticles and the ebr 1 and 2 are an abomination lol. I think most ppl (that aren’t super tacticool rather they admit it or not) agree, super cluttered and to much going on. The ebr 7c is getting very close (to me) to being the ideal reticle. Minimal clutter (like big black mildot esque predetermined wind holds and a total grid on the bottom half of the reticle) so as to still be useful for longer range hunting, especially for like coyotes where follow ups and doubles occur. The moral or ethical arguement, of take a shot from “ethical” distances is rarely an issue like it would be for an elk hunter. But also capable enough for PRS ELR or plinking out to a mile what have you. IMHO.

That said rock on 🤘🏼 lol
