    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    more like the Ziess ZR-MRi, but even more extended?

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Picture in Post 257 is the DNT TOR reticle. But if you prefer just dots...it would seem the existing TOR reticle would be right up your ally. No??

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I can accept that, but it's a step toward "less is more". Did you mean on the vert? Up/down. If so, you'll see the MilXT does as well. If you meant Horiz (side to side) you'll see they all do this to some degree. Mine and the Element Theos being the only ones that have .2 mil hash on one...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I agree with that, and I also believe that a computer generated overlay of a design over a picture also does not actually represent what the eyeball actually sees either. It's just an idea. Alas, at 20x, I don't think any of the options I posted are difficult to "see through" and ignore...but...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I just have a hard time believing people that suggest this "Tree" reticle has too much information or its distracting or it covers up too much. GTFOOHWTBH :unsure:

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    1000% agree. I didn't mean that it's ONLY for newer shooters. Just that a newer shooter can benifit a lot...maybe more than a seasoned shooter

    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...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

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

    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.
