JorgeI,
I like thicker reticles also. But the Swarovski Z6 2nd generation reticle are definitely heavier than when they were first released. I have a few of the 1.7-10x42 with the 2nd generation Plex. They are one of my favorite 2nd Focal reticles. And I like heavier first focal, but few and far between are imported now.
I did buy and return a demo Z6 1.7-10x42 several days ago. It has the 1st generation Plex. When I first looked through it, I thought what the hell !! Significant difference between it and 2nd generation reticle. I was surprised there was still a first generation reticle made in Austria still in circulation. That reticle was unusable for me.


So what do you use now, Fost? looking to scope a 340 Weatherby. The last one I had sported a Z6, but I don't want to go that route again. Their X hairs are too thin fo me.
