I, too, am impressed. I put a 1.5-8 on my new to me .280. I like the reticle, the eye box is fantastic, and the glass is excellent. I haven't done any direct comparisons yet but I suspect it will compare favorably to my Z3. The reticle is working great for me out to 500.
I am glad you like my reticle. I sketched it out for one of the Vortex guys on the back of the napkin at SHOT a while back and they went ahead and put it into the scope. Interestingly, G4-BDC reticle is doing really well in Europe, but not so great in the US.
