    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I will admit I like the tree for both reasons. Now...we have seen a trend with a lot of the top shooters going to a more JTAC style reticle because....well...they are some of the top shooters. I don't believe this optic is really designed for them. I have two of the DNT 7-35s but I've still...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I did the entire 7-35x design with the intention of NRL/PRS type shooting, but lets not pretend there's not huge chunk of us that use a match grade optic and reticle and hunt with it anyway. The 3-18x option I jsut did for giggles...that's not an option I would personally grab, so I was just...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I don't think it's really about holding quarter moa of wind...it's the graduation of the reticle itself. I started out shooting MOA and moved to MIL probably 12 years ago. to this day, if I look through a reticle and see it segmented into quarters...I assume it's MOA. I had a HUGE issue with...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    It would seem this DNT is daylight bright enough for a slightly overcast day. It was -20 with the wind chill so I wasn't real thrilled about being out there nit picking if everything was in focus, but I'll have to wait for summer to truly test bright bright daylight. That said...I believe the...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    at 5 mil, it goes to .2 thick. at 10 mil, it goes to .5 thick I changed to a circle, roughly .75 thick and is based on the old Bushnell BTR-2 that was used in the 1-8.5x SMRS. Near as I can tell...the BTR-2x is roughly .5 mil thick and 6 mil across. I have never had issues seeing that circle...

    Autism man, I do this kind of stuff for fun. Even if it never sees the light of day. I enjoy doing it.

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Here's why I don't feel overlaying a design onto a photo is a legitimate representation. it' gives you an idea, but I don't think it's the end-all be-all. Near as I can tell...at 18x you'll see roughly 10 mil side to side...(as per the Leupold Diagram) and zoomed out to 3x you'll see roughly 60...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I think the actual point is that by going .25 hashes ...you have less tick marks between your mils. 3 instead of 4...And with most plates being minimum .3-.4 mils wide anyway... that .05 difference is usually a nonissue. Maybe I'm wrong I get it...but regardless, I've never been overwhelmed by...

    Personally, Yes. If you want quarters...shoot minutes.

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    yes, I can tomorrow...but I think a better question is to just ask what reticles are usable at 3x...what features do you like to have usable at 3x and design accordingly. Personally, I don't think there is 1 answer for both options. What you're asking for is 6.7 PowerStroke in an F150 chassis...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I'm not suggesting either is better than the other, just pointing out that I designed mine, based on a mix of what can be considered a fine line (.03) like the PR2... as well as a heavier line (.05 and .07) you would utilize if you zoom outside the top end.

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Put together a hypothetical (lite) version for a 3-18x DMR style. Even less cluttered, slightly heavier at .05 in close to the aiming point and .07 as you get out past 2 mil of wind and below 5mil elevation. I guess I'll have to double check the two DNT I have already to see how bright they...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    obviously i borrowed some inspiration from this. .03 dot close to the verticle, and increased to .05 as you move away. Broken hashes to keep the "grid" less full

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I understand completely, but I don't believe a digital representation equates 1:1 to how an actual reticle performs in the field. Alas, that's the whole point and advantage of having an illuminated reticle that's daylight bright. An example would be a Leupold PR2 that's one of the most popular...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I was never really a fan of the old H-2 and H-37 with the offset being +4 mil high of center, but would it be terrible if it was 1 or 2 mil high of center? Almost wouldn't notice unless you were holding way over. (just spit balling here) Would a 1 or 2 mil offset ranging "L" be desire-able at...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I think it's well established, can't make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time. I have never had issues with a grid personally, All of my PRS rifles have some form of a grid or grid like reticle. I could see doing a strait cross hair like a JTAC, considering the TOR is pretty similar to a...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    For me...one of the major reasons I like 20 mil of hold is for rimfire. There's plenty of times beyond 300 yds where I have had to run a NO DIAL stage and a 300 yd hold is 12-13 mil.
