4x12 Leupold with the LRD reticle, with most calibers I use {7-08, 223, 6.5prc,7mm saum} I sight the bottom dot in to hit a standard clay pigeon at 400yds, that puts the next dot up right on at 300yds and the crosshair above it on at 200yards.
Unfortunately Leupold has discontinued that reticle but I see them on ebay frequently.
I have to say that the last few years Leupold has been a real disappointment on many levels, they've went from the premier American optics company to a shining example of mediocrity.
