Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Spotting scopes with ranging reicles

I know you can get the Leupold Gold Rings with the TMR reticle.
What other makers implement a mil type reticle?

Vortex makes such an eyepiece for their Razor spotter.

if you can find them.....been discontinued.

The votex eyepiece also works great on swaro s/atm, s/ats's, too.

bushnell has one , too....

I use the Vortex Razor with fixed mil eyepiece. It works great and I have no complaints. I'd buy it again without thinking twice.

Minox too.

I liked the looks of the vortex reticle but google isn't finding any.
I'll have to check some of the others out.

Swaro makes one in the STR, you can turn the reticle off and on as well.

That Swaro looks like awesome but out of my price range.
I'm thinkin the Leupold 20-40x60 with TMR is in front as of now.

Yeah the MOA version is available but not the MRAD. I'm in the process of switching all my scopes to mil/mil

MInox is coming out with a 65 and 85 mm spotting scope with reticle.

Yesterday the brown truck dropped off a Bushnell Legend T for me. I put it on a tripod and went on my porch to look around at the mountains in the distance and tress, poles, etc. around the house. I did it at 3:00 and at 8:00, paying particular attention to my ability to focus on a pine tree at 780 yards. As a disclaimer, I have really, really bad eyes. A normal person would probable see differences I won't, I'm just passing on my experience so far.

I found the glass very comparable to my Bushnell Elite 15-45X60. I sold the Elite to get the Legend so I could have the reticle. I can't compare them side by side now, but I did pay attention to certain things before I sold the Elite so I could compare them. I thought the Elite would be better being Japanese glass, but they seem very similar to me. I also compared it to my Sightron S3 (both set on 24X) and thought the Sightron was slightly better. Like all spotters with a 60mm objective at this price, it gets darker on higher powers.

I had read that early Legends had the focus move by itself and guys had to use an O ring to stop it. Mine isn't doing that. Neither is my buddies and he has had his for several months now.
It came with caps and a case. The reticle is easy to see and I am impressed with it so far. I'll take it to the range next week and if the weather is good out for gophers in two weeks.

I have ideas of using it for shooting steel and gophers and making easy corrections for the shooter. I'm just hoping I actually use it enough to justify the price difference. I sold my faithful old Elite (which weighed 27 ounces) for $200. This scope was $468 and i had to wait for it to get in stock. I think that is still a lot less than the other options listed above.
