It is everything I dislike in a reticle. I find it cluttered and busy, and I think it is overdesigned. fur a while they sold scopes with what they called the "KISS" reticle, which was straight-up yoinked from the Rakurs sight except fur being in MRAD instead of MOA.

The KISS reticle was discontinued. Maybe it didn't sell. It's a pity.
Currently Primary Arms seems to have a mania fur sticking an illuminated chevron front and center on top of an assortment of extremely busy reticles that have lead indicators and rangefinding scales and wind hold indicators and holdover points and everything but a "check engine" light. And the holdover points unavoidably have built into them assumptions about the trajectory, which
