Again, shooting 600-1000 yards prone shooting...
Which reticle should I look for? Some say Target Dot, V-Plex Wide, or Mil-Dot. |

thats personal preference. The target dot will give you a smaller aiming point of impact but at 600yds it may be a little thin to see on target.

Thanks SVT
I was leaning more towards Mil-Dot. I think I will stick with that choice. |

I would rather go for the mil reticule with fine cross hairs.
General complaint is that the dot covers a large part of the target

I think you are going to find a mil-based reticle to be pretty busy. At 600 yards and beyond, you'll probably find shooters using as fine a crosshair as possible so as not to obscure the target. In F-Class, the new targets have a 3" bull- doesn't take much reticle thickness to obscure that.
Just my .02 from shooting F-Class- I use a fine cross hair with a 1/16 MOA target dot. |

Are we talking about F-Class Bench rest where ranging is unnecessary and you only have to re-zero to pre-determined targets or are we talking about, F-class open, F-T/R, or the long range practical?
