Centurion 16" barrel on a Rainier Arms receiver. Kind of based this on the DD Vickers carbine.

If you know how to use the triangle it's quite functional. I find it fast. I can use the bottom of it at 1x to account for offset up close, and at 4x you can use the bottom of it to account for 4moa of drop which gets me to about 375.
I wish there were stadia, but don't worry it's a great optic. I've even pushed it to one thousand yards.

I think it's a terrible reticle. The triangle is huge, too big. The tip of the triangle isn't pointy or defined for precision work. The post the triangle sits on is huge and makes hold overs difficult. I'm not talking about from a bench on a range where I can really study my shot. I'm talking about in competitions where I'm racing to beat the timer and where every shot counts. No it isn't a two way range but the stress level is higher than plinking from a bench. The stresses aren't near what they would be if somebody was shooting back at me and that's why I would never have the triangle. It's too big and too hard to be precise with it. An 8" target at 300 doesn't seem that hard, but add some stress and a shitty shooting position, then it becomes more difficult. The German #4 crosshair isn't ideal either... But its miles better than the triangle. I strongly encourage you to try both and make a decision on your own. That's what I did. I don't want you to get the German #4 reticle and be pissed at me because you found out you like the triangle better. Some like it. Some love it. Not me. I hate it.
There are guys here with years and years of experience more than me, some with decades more. I just know what I have seen from my experience in 3 gun shooting what works for me and what doesn't.
I don't want to come off as a know-it-all and really hope I don't. If I am, just tell me and I'll STFU. Just hoping I can help and contribute here in some way.

Thanks to both of you for the contribution. I'll have to see if the local shop can get the Triangle one in before I tell them its a go so I can check it out. I like the idea behind both optics. Just wish either one had mil dots on it.
