I've heard several people on Gunnit say they feel that reticles with bullet drop markings are dumb, but I haven't seen anyone explain just why they feel that way. I'm looking into optics for my 10/22, and the Nikon rimfire BDC 150 caught my eye. I still have a LOT to learn about shooting and accuracy, but it seemed that a scope like this could help in the beginning. I know the US has similar tech on the ACOG and so did Russia with the PSO-1. Is there really no reason for me to try learning with a BDC reticle? As I (hopefully) get better over time, I can see why a simple duplex style reticle would be ideal for longer shots, after making click adjustments, I just feel it's going to be a while before I'm good enough to make use of that.
tl;dr - ELI5 why so many seem to think that BDC reticles are dumb.
Here's my Savage MK-II FV with my setup.
Rings are 1'' AccuShot from Amazon.
Scope is a Nikon Rimfire Prostaff 3X9X40 from Cabella's, I got it for $119 on sale.
Bipod is a UTG small adjustable from Amazon.
This rifle mainly is my target .22lr for punching paper, but I've taken it out small game hunting as well (without the bipod) and it's awesome in the field. Hell I have a target model 10/22 (wood lam stock) and I never even shoot that, I shoot this Savage way more.
