Yes Waterboy, I did use the green Mildot in my testing. The triangle post can be used in various situations. But I find it too large. I like a tiny illuminated dot. And that’s what you get in the Mildot or the standard duplex. And really for me it boils down to this. A good quality 50 -56 mm...
Accupoint reticles vary. But to me the Mildot is the way to go. Bold dark reticle that is very daytime visible. And a tiny dot. I personally like green.
Thanks for all the input. I did this test a couple weeks ago and basically have summarized giving the high points. As I stated it’s informal and subjective but did answer some of my questions. I didn’t know how to show an image that was being seen by us through a phone. Just not that tech savvy...
In response the larger objective. I have always known the larger objective wins out. But we wanted to for sake of not just having one size class include various sizes. We also wanted various price ranges and brands. As to the question on how the smaller objectives ranked. It was the Leupold...

I have this scope in 2.5-15x50 L4w reticle. Short summary. It’s what Leica describes as their entry into the premium line. It’s on the heavy side (( ounces matter to me) , the optics have good edge sharpness and color rendition.Low light performance is to me very similar to my Leupold VX-6...
The EL is fine optic. Is it overhype? Yes and No. It represents a class of binoculars are among the best. And when you get to a certain level of performance you just have a hard time rising above those benchmarks. I sold my EL’s and now am running Zeiss SFL 8x40’s. I wanted a lighter high...
