The little 1-4 is amazing for the money.


The 3-9 reticle is thicker. SWFA used to have the specs on their site so you could compare. The 6x specs are there, but the 3-9 aren't there right now (that I can find). Regardless, the 3-9 reticle is thicker, compared 6x to 6x and of course as you turn the magnification up the reticle gets thicker. I like the 3-9x42 reticle better.
