I have decided to join a .22 silhouette league and shoot with the other retired flactulants. I have a Kimber Hunter that ought to do the job. I recognized that I needed a scope with target adjusting knobs for the elevation and windage. I bought a Leupold 6x18x40 VX-II with the fine dot reticle. MISTAKE....at least for me. Those cross hairs and dot are so fine I can barely see them. Do any of you play this game and if so what reticle would you suggest? I had hoped that the scope might do double duty on a hunting rifle but the cross hairs dissappear when pointed at the woods.
Which reticle?

In most of my target/varmint Leupold scopes, I find the fine duplex recticle works well for me. I had one with the fine dot & cross hairs, but never could get comfortable with it.I also have a 6.5 X 20, 30mm tube, with the varmint hunter recticle, that works very well for me.

this is clearly the best reticle ever devised by man;
but for you, I'd probably look at something more like a German #4, depending on how you use the scope.
I'd like to see that thing after a pipe of Jamacian bud
Careful what you wish for, that could be really ugly....

German reticle
2011 was not my best year and I was very concerned just how good my vision was going to be after fairly involved procedures on both eyes. I started stocking up on Burris Euro Diamonds with their R4 reticle. They were discontinuing the line and I got some great deals, mostly from Natchezss.com. The worse case did not come to pass and I have about 20/20 with glasses in the left and about 20/30-40 in the right. I still like the #4 for low light esp since about half the ones I picked up have a center variable led. Looks like they would work well for you. Swarovski has similar reticles but the prices will take your breath away.
