    An example of what annoyed me into this post: “The ranging reticle is calibrated for 5.56 (.223 cal) flat-top rifles to 800 meters.”
    Spec sheet says: .223/5.56. Details end.

    The takeaway? This manufacturer knows so little about ballistics that they think 223 is 223 is 223 and a barrel is a barrel is a barrel out to 800 meters. Yeah, sure.

    Obviously that isn’t true, given the manufacturer. And I could email them for clarification. But why the $&@% are they not more specific when interfacing with the COTS buyer? Given the fact that almost every designer of reticles that just non-specifically says “.223” really means “55@3k”, it would be easy to dismiss that optic as not suited for me.
