Unfortunately, that's not the one! The reticle I like is far less cluttered than the Horus.

For a multi-point reticle I like a reticle that shouldn't be mentioned here, since it isn't availabe through SWFA. Let's just say it's a FFP reticle with numbered points for both elevation and windage.
It is available now:

Better to have it multiple answers because one reticle is not best for every thing and a compromise when you make it an all-arounder.  I know the benchrest guys with super thin reticles wouldn't want that if they was hunting hogs with the Southern Gent's that are members here. 
 
 
 No problem with the poll, infact I placed a favorite scope poll and got flak because of my limited choices and the multiple votes.It would be nice to see feedback from other hunters and shooters share there experience on what equipment is used and how it works in the real world.German #4 reticle is my favorite next to the Firefly reticle from the Bushnell Elite series.

I have 3 of the Leupold VX III Varmint Reticle scopes. I like the reticle enough to have the scopes because of the windage scale, even though I find the Leupolds optically lacking. Since then Zeiss has replied with the Z-600 reticle and feel that it is the better of both worlds. Just like trigger29 said "WOOHOO!! Rapid-Z!!!!!"
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow

Why hold for drop but still have to dial for wind?  If anything dialing for elevation and holding for wind would be better.
WOOHOO!! Rapid-Z!!!!! I got windage marks, AND I USE 'EM!! No dialing for me. Maybe not as accurate, but good on a milk jug sized target out to 700.

Guessing a Sightron fan "had at it". Guess I better go buy a H.H.R. reticle. Somebody liked it a lot to spend time to vote that much.

I like the poll however you can vote as many times for the same scope reticle.

 I always liked the thin cross hair with the dot, but the more I look at that Trijicon the more I like it. now I see they have the crosshair and dot so I like it even more,especaily the 5-20.
 I've bought a couple of 20x ss's and love the high power for target shooting and bought the mildot master and the cd that goes with it to learn how the mil dots work.
