Personally, I'm very against using tiny crosshairs. They're difficult to see, and in my opinion, they don't allow you to have a natural feel. Having to line up your crosshair perfectly with the enemy = consumption of focus/brain power, which could otherwise be used for other things in game.

I use a 400 xhair scale, and I always reccommend my clan members to use a crosshairscale lower than 1000. I feel that it's much more natural to have a larger crosshair, and being able to just sweep your crosshair over an enemies head, and fire when you think it's centered, is much easier than using a tiny crosshair and struggling to line it up perfectly ( Keep in mind, bullets stray, they're not always on target, so your bullet's hitzone should never be larger than your crosshair ).

Anyway, if that means nothing to you, I know HDR can really screw with lighting ( ie. de_dust w/hdr; you won't be able to see your crosshair for crap ), so if you have that on, try disabling it and see if that helps.

I'm actually very against this, but I encountered a white crosshair that's visible on almost any surface. It's not CAL legal, however, so be wary of that. If you're interested ( Don't be interested, it's the easy way out zomg! Practice with a larger scale!), you can PM me, and I'll give you a link.
