I prefer A large ring and my scores took a nice boost when i made the change.

Easier to focus on the gold.
Since I started to look at what I want to hit , the ring lines up without much thought or effort.

We seem to be getting ripped off over here when buying Gehmanns reticules. See:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Gehmann-505-Arch...QQcmdZViewItem

With a good exchange rate, it is a steal

While I agree that pricing here often seems to be higher than the states (don't get me started on that), that is clearly marked as a clearance sale. Clearance sale pricing is usually considerably lower....The next obvious question is why are they on clearance?

How much have you seen this for in the UK?

$110 Aus is about £44, then you would have to pay VAT on import...
