I use black electrical tape, from the hardware store, to make a 3" cross on a white paper. Helps me align the crosshairs, not canted and resolve the aiming point.
Once scope is sighed in, I use a 1" black aiming point, tape or Sharpie, and shoot for accurate shot placement.
I think
@RayAtkinson has it correct that 3x or 4x scopes just work in the field.
Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Keith recommended the same decades ago. Works for my poor eyes.
I really wish Leupold would make a run of the fixed 3x scope, with an illuminated Fire dot reticle.
If some Marketing whizz could convince the 3-gun crowd, that 3x scope magnification really works out to 300 yards, we could be in business with useful hunting scopes.
