FYI: Swarovski thickened the plex reticle in 2012.

You can determine the year your Swarovski was manufactured by adding 1930 to the first two digits of the SN#.

A scope whose SN# begins with MC83 for example would be a 2013 model.

The new reticle compares nicely to the VX6 reticle.

Naturally Swaros 4w reticle still remains a bit thinner, yet I have one on my .264 Win Mag.

My 7 Rem Mag wears a 2014 Z5 with the Plex BT.

OTOH my Montana in 280 AI wears a 2-12 VX6, mostly for the eye box and illumination. Plus the 2x is ideal for the Adirondacks. I do not spin turrets on this particular rifle, however.
