Nothing?
Anything?

The 3 legs that are left are heavier than normal which makes them easier to see in low light or woods conditions. They eliminate the top leg so as to improve visibility of the target. It was designed for hunting game in heavy woods.

For long range varmints i'll take this one altered a bit. The last 1 mrad unit would be subdivided into .1 mrad units, instead of .2, and the 1st 2 mrad windage units would also be subdivided into .2 as below--
For a SFP scope I prefer a German #4 or a Duplex with very fine center reticle.
For FFP scopes I prefer the Nightforce NP-R2 style or the IOR MP-8 so that I can range targets and adjust for wind easier.
