I have that exact scope with the BDC reticle on my 25/06, absolutely love it. Clear, eye relief is excellent and doesn't get touchy when turned clear up to 18x. I really like the extra references the BDC provides, shot a nice whitetail buck this year at @ 450 yards. Put the 400 yard circle on it's back and squeezed the trigger, and hit it in the heart with the first shot. I'd shot out to 300 yards after dialing in using their "Spot-on" program and found it to be really close, and so trusted it enough to feel comfortable using the 400 yard reference on an animal. I've always hated having to hold over when shooting at distance, even if you know the drop it is still tough to hold over the right amount. If you're going to be shooting some distance I'd definitely recommend getting the BDC reticle. I have heard some complaints about the size of the circles (to big and cover up the target), but I don't find them a problem. I use the very bottom of the circle as the reference.
