Better than the old PST reticles for precision due to the open center. Standard cross hairs can block out your target on high magnification.

I have one in my Razor 4.5-27... dunno if the sub tensions are the same as in the Viper 6-24... but I like the reticle.

I actually prefer non Christmas tree reticles, but the EBR-2C is so similar to the EBR-1C that I just said why not play around with the Christmas tree.

The Christmas tree in this case is not overwhelming or distracting like on a Horus reticle. The ranging bars on the outside of the reticle are a nice touch.

The only thing I don't like personally... is that the hold numbers are where they are... I would have preferred them on the outside like the old EBR-2 reticle... but then again, guys much better at shooting than me designed this reticle... and the numbers don't really mess up hold overs... just a personal nitpick is all it is.

Looks very similar to the Bushnell G2DMR reticle, which is one of my favorite for long distance shooting using holds. Illumination on the EBR-2C is a nice touch for low light shooting, something that is lacking in the Bushnell options with the G2DMR. I wish the EBR-2C reticle had more defined marks on the full mil marks for the wind holds. The G2DMR reticle has hash marks for those points rather than slightly larger dots like the Vortex reticle.

Something to keep in mind when using reticles for holdovers is that on higher magnification scopes with FFP design, many of the holdover points will be outside the field of view at max magnification. On the 6-24X50 version of the Bushnell Elite Tactical ERS scope, the G2DMR reticle gets cut off at around 6 mils for holdovers when set at 24X magnification.
