Looking through the scope, what is your preference for the reticle / sight?

A Plain medium duplex is fine for about 95% of all shooting. Mil-Dot and other boutique reticles are fine if you want to spend more money on good glass, but the algorithms require practice.

A few makers offer scope reticles that give you several aiming points and if you spend some time on the range and use the exact same ammo, you can learn at what range those hash marks work for your load, in that given condition.

Best advice is to get as close as you can, then get ten yards closer (I forget the African PH who said that a few score years ago).

Best;
