I'm ordering a 4-24 Leupold VX6 for a 6.5 Creedmoor and I'm looking for some advice on reticles - I'm having trouble picking one. My (illuminated) reticle choices are the "Varmint Hunter" and the "Boone & Crockett". I'm leaning towards the varmint reticle because it offers more hold over options; but I'd like some opinions from some more knowledgeable brothers, or sisters, as the case may be.
Primarily, this rifle is for predator hunting and occasional deer.
What has me on the fence between these 2 reticles is the fact that I can get a CDS for the scope and just dial up the distance/windage and not really need to use the reticle for compensating. So, I'm wondering whether getting a 'busy' reticle like the varmint version is necessary, or the right choice. I know there's not really a "right" choice and that it's all personal preference; but I want to hear some other people's thoughts to help me make my decision.
Here's the 2 reticles:
Varmint Hunter reticle
Boone & Crockett reticle

Oh well, if I like one of the new models that much better, I'll swap this one out next year. Got a feeling I'm going to like it plenty. Besides, it'll give me some more time to work on designing my custom dials and play with them. My hope is that they'll largely eliminate the need to choose a reticle.
