Looks like the Weaver Dual X is just their term for a standard duplex reticle. Pretty basic reticle design that is standard on nearly all hunting and general purpose scopes. It's a good design if you are just shooting for the center of the cross hairs, but for longer ranges where holdovers for elevation or wind are likely to be used I'd opt for something like a mil dot reticle or something similar with mil or moa based hash marks for reference points.

http://www.cpcartridge.com/30-06b.htm BDC reticles are a bit of a crutch but that's not a bad thing. With most scopes don't expect them to be useful at other than full magnification and the marks are strictly reference points for hunters. You need to print out ballistic charts for your scope and favorite round to see what ranges those reference points are accurate points of aim. Nikon has a calculator on their. http://www.nikonhunting.com/spoton/ BTW I own both styles from multiple manufacturers.
