Low light comparison of 17 scopes

[bigsky_hunter]

I much prefer the thicker reticle for hunting. I absolutely will not use a thin reticle unless it has a good illumination system.

Having used both I prefer the thinner. Good thing scope manufacturers make options for a variety people.

Posted those numbers so people are aware of the different thickness in reticles, specifically for Trijicon.
As a reference, standard leupold duplex is 0.3
Reticle thickness is subjective. Buy what you think works for you. If it doesn’t, sell it and buy what does.

Update to post #3 with 7 more scopes- 17 total.





@pacoalcracker there’s your Leupold’s.

*The Minox ZP5 with THLR reticle was also compared. If going by its ability to see and aim… you’re committing crimes.

Thanks for the update / post 3.

This might be a cross-cultural thing, but does "you're committing crimes" in this context mean it's not a fair contest? Cheers.

This is an older Zeis Conquest that has a really good #4 reticle. I've used it since 2011 i believe. I'm sure it's not a "tough" scope, but has held zero for normal deer hunting. I have ffp scopes, and like has been posted here, the reticle is the key and where many fail.
