Anyone have one? Would it be better for 300-400 yard shots vs a regular #4 Reticle?

Yes.
Kinda. Gotta learn it. And verify everything on the range at known distances. I had one (FFP version, is the 4A or 4B FFP?) for a day, loved the glass, liked the reticle, hated the eye relief. So long as it ain't going on a boomer, enjoy. If it is going on a boomer, carry some of those butterfly sutures in your field bag. Getting a kiss from a Meopta is inevitable if your gun has any significant recoil.

They are both FFP as far as I know. It would go on a 270 and a 35 whelen so recoil shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Hi,
The 4A and 4B reticles are available in the Artemis 2000 series (4x32, 6x42, 7x50, 1.5-6x42, 2-8x42, 3-9x42, 3-12x50) as well as the Meostar R1 3-12x56. All are FFP scopes. The 4A and 4B have identical holdover-markers on the 6 o-clock position, but the 4A is calibrated for range estimation (of a deer or similar) at 400yds, while the 4B goes out to 600yds.

Yes I work for Meopta, but I am not here to sell Meopta. Just answering questions and providing reasonable insight.

I thought that #4a reticle was just a wider #4? Perhaps, I am wrong. Now that I think about, do you think I could impose on you to make a table of Meopta reticle and their dimensions as they are used in different scopes? I am starting an overview article for Meopta riflescopes, and I can't find the reticle details anywhere online. Thanks ILya
