Do it! ?
Awesome thanks
If you haven't seen already, I found ebr-7c and posted it for you ---see post #8
Requesting some more Minox ZP5 5-25 pics with the MR4 reticle. Full zoom, 20x, 15x, variety of backgrounds…
The one we have has a real cluttered background and is a wee fuzzy. I know, ya get what you pay for. Anyway, it would be much appreciated.

ZCO 4-20×50 MPCT1 on 20x @ 200 yards. I hope this is clear. Photobucket seems to be blurry compared to the actual photo in my phone.
I don't have a ZP5, so can't help you there. The one I posted came from another hide member. Here's another MR4 he gave me, if it helps at all. Not sure at what mag. it was taken.
Way better directly off my phone. ZCO MPCT1, 20x @ 200 yard
Here's a Gen 2 XR inside of a Tangent Theta backed down to only 5x magnification. Gets pretty darn skinny when you go below 7x or 8x, and is realistically the most usable at about 12x when you can still see the full tree in the scope but you don't really have anything extra below the tree visible.
I still personally prefer my TReMoR3 because I like reticles with a lot of information and I strongly prefer a center dot to a crosshair, but as far as "minimal" reticles go the Gen 2 XR fits the bill for many people.
I actually quite like the newer Gen 3 Xr since it has a better tree and a small center dot like I prefer. I say the tree is better because it branches out for windage on every full mil instead of every other mil, and each of those branches goes out wider. The tree on the Gen 3 XR is also less confusing because the dots are 0.2mils and the pluses are full mils, with the dots being substantially smaller than the pluses. On the Gen 2 XR it's easier to get lost because dots are used as 0.5 mils for windage, but they use dots for full mils of elevation and the dots are the same size as the pluses so it makes it less clear that they're representing a value smaller than 1 full mil.
Looks like Chief's place. Has he pushed the range past 700 yards? I know he was talking about extending the range some time ago.

Dunno.... Halfmad posted this pic in other thread. I enlarged and posted here for others to view. Been waiting for real life pics of TT315H
Whoa, that's nice. An extension of the Vortex EBR-2c.
Certainly is chief's. The last target is now at 750 and if he isn't busy you can back up and make it 800.
Halfmad,
Thanks for the confirmation. Sure wish he would punch it out to 1k or beyond.

A trio of Hensoldts.
"Basic", but fast & uncluttered for me.

The 3-12 and 4-16 mildot reticles come with the choke rangefinder, but the 3-12 SSG/-P has the elevation indicator/rangefinder as well.
The 3.5-26 did away with the choke rangefinder, as well as the solid mildots, my personal peeve with it.
As far as those red rings from the Hensoldt web page stock pics, I didn’t quite get why they did that weirdism.

Cannot go wrong with the Zeiss build quality of the Hensoldt scopes.

I’ll have to get pics of the 4X16 henny’s with Horus reticles my buddy runs.
this is almost the perfect reticle to me. Shame it’s in none of the scopes I like.
Why not get the Tract?
I have three 7-35x ATACRs with mil-xt rets. I don’t really need anymore scopes. But I do appreciate that reticle.
It would be pretty cool to be able to select two reticles side by side on a web page at equal magnification.
Have there been any new developments on the scope rating/comparison idea from earlier this year?
I’m right there with you. What’s always turned me off a bit from the MI-XT is all the hashes and numbers. Tract’s PRS skips every other number and simplifies the “jaggedness” of the MIL-XT stadia. Only change for me would be to cut off the top stadia like NF did.
the only thing I would change is two things on the vertical stabia. I would take away the 0.5 hash mark and put the 0.2 on both sides. But really it’s well balanced as is.
Anyone have photos of Nightforce Mil-CF2 illuminated? I have googled and can’t find.

Wow, that Kahles has more CA than I would expect from a lesser scope like Steiner or Vortex PST.
NF ATACR 1-8X24 FC-DMX
Cell phone pictures, my phone really struggles with illuminated reticle pictures. Even on low brightness.
