Really? A .075 center dot?
Sigh.... Been waiting years and years and they just plop a huge blob right in the center.

Create a channel Learn moreYou mean like between the .6 and .8 dashes?Stupid question: I made my best effort to analyze the reticle and found all the 0.1mil increments EXCEPT I just could not find a direct 0.7 mil measurement on the reticle.
Can someone point it out to me?
All the complaints about center dot are just further proof you can never please everyone when it comes to reticles. I mean really just over a quarter inch will be covered at 100 yards. If all I did was shoot groups at 100 it might not be for me, but I don’t. All the complaining before anyone has ever looked through one or use one is laughable. Quit muddying the waters. I will reserve judgment and see next week in person on steel in the field which way I feel on reticle, but at least it will be first hand when I comment. The guys that put down the cash and have the first 6 coming their way are the only ones that should be commenting on reticle IMO, looking at something on paper is much different than in the field through the scope. Don’t like it don’t buy it! but no one wants to sort through all the whining to try and read about what’s actually going on with these.
Ordered mine two days ago from CS Tactical. Now I wait. Excited to get my hands on this thing.
Why would you do that! It has a giant aiming dot that’s gonna cover most every target you shoot at!!! I mean it’s basically a tennis ball at 100 yards... and a watermelon at 1000...lol!!!
That being said I hope to have tracking tomorrow on mine, I was early on preorder list.
Damn those 1/4” tennis balls!
Exactly! I just get a laugh out of all the complaints that have come up in multiple threads. Then you do the math and see that it’s only slightly larger than a 6mm bullet at 100. My sarcasm is mainly out of boredom until mine gets here. Still holding onto hope I’ll have it Friday!
I think the biggest reason for “complaints” is the dot appearance next to the rest of the reticle.
I’ll be checking one out this week if all goes well.
Regardless of what the math is, if it looks weird to your eye, you’re going to hate it.
Seems like an odd choice considering the rest of the market is using .05 and smaller.
Also, if we are going to throw math in it, they are utilizing a dot that is 50% larger than the average dot being used.
Maybe they know something we don’t, maybe not.
Alright alright...let see them mystery reticle

A quick hi and bye...
wjm308 for president!So when is GA Precision going to offer their Tangent Theta deals like they do the Bushnell LRHS... let's see, the TT315M for $1500 would be quite nice
Any word on a Gen 3 TT315M?
Agreed.I think that for now Gen 3 XR is for the 5-25x model only. I think they sell far more 5-25x models than the 3-15x, so unless sales go up substantially, it will be tricky to convince them to add Gen 3 XR reticle to it.
I had a talk with them about some other reticle options for the 3-15x models and I'll keep working on them.
Tangent Theta is a pretty small company, so they can not have too many projects at the same time. 5-25x comes first.

Thanks for the updates! Not gonna lie, it's a little weird that I just happened to be watching Ilya's shot update vids right now. I had hoped it was kind of inevitable, since they already sell the G2 in the TT315M and I really prefer the floating dot. And like probably others I maintain hope they'll eventually release a locking windage turret option all around. But, struggling to keep up with existing demand is a really good reason for them not to do either right now - one of those admirable problems for a company to have.
What I'm actually after is a lightweight mid range magnification hunting scope with the best possible low light performance. Ideally one I could buy once, cry a lot, and then be happy with forever, to include swapping it onto my other rifles (hence the interest in the tree ret). Don't want to derail the thread but would appreciate any nudges in an alternate direction. The existence of the new G3 and possibility that it may - eventually - find its way to the TT315M has given me that super dumb buyer's analysis paralysis, but my checking account is at least breathing a sigh of relief. For now.
Thanks for all that you do! It is really appreciated and frankly has probably sold a whole boatload of past and future TT's. That definitely applies to me. Feel free to tell them that.
I don't want to be the jerk that derails this thread, so I asked my question in more detail in separate thread "TT315M alternative." Would really appreciate your thoughts, or alternatively I can just cool my heels while you update your recommendations. Thanks again!
FWIW, I like your Hunter ret idea in concept, but honestly I would be taking a much harder look at the TT315H if they had just designed it around No4 rather than duplex. Just personal preference.
I think the center dot should actually help in prs. I hope that it'll help me focus on the dot more instead of focusing on the target which happens often in fast paced shooting. But using the center of the reticle on a target is a rare occasion. Ive had the gen 2xr TT in the past and it was the best scope I've ever used for sure. I can't wait for this gen 3xr. If the dot is hard to use on paper I'll just dial up or down .2 tenths and use that to zero because of the really fine thickness of the reticle itself
The guys at TT understand that reticles matter and they are working on options. However, you have to understand how that company views their products and how much obsessive compulsive attention to detail they have.
I recall they held back the introduction of production scopes because some mechanics worked perfectly at -30C, but not perfectly at -40C. Personally, I do not expect anything to work at -40C (I am indoors with a glass of single malt well before it gets that cold). They worked on it until it was perfect at -40C.
What I want them to do is introduce a simpler tree reticle with a bolder primary aiming point in the 3-15x50 Hunter platform. I think that would be a kick ass hunting scope for any lighting conditions and distances. I will sketch up a couple of designs and keep on harassing until they build one just to shut me up (I wish it was that simple, but I will keep trying).

1 MRAD = 3.6 inches at 100 yards and 36 inches at 1000.Let’s pretend I’m dumb and bad at math. 0.075 mil center dot would be about 2.2 inches at 1000 yards correct and .22 inches at 100 yards?
