That is a smoking deal!

Wish I lived closer I’d probably try one

I did the simple duplex reticle for a while, but I rarely wanted to take the time to dial, and when I would, I'd have to remember to undial, or I'd have to wait for a different shot and readjust, and so on. I realized I would need to spend A LOT more money for a scope that could reliably return to zero, and it would be heavier. Or, I could just adjust to using a reticle with holdover and windage points. I figure there's less that could go wrong with dialing.

I prefer the G4. I really like how it is clear at the top half and the bars on the side and bottom are thick enough to see easily. It’s easy to find the center dot because it sits equal distant between the three bars.

I have the 1-5-8x32 with then G4. My 12 year old nephew used it on a 243 and had no problem hitting milk jugs at 100 yards. He got his first deer with it last fall.

I love the 1.5-8 in g4 reticle

I agree the G-4 is very simple. I think its a great scope for kids because all they have to know is put the dot where you want to hit the animal. Done

I could live with the G4. Now I can’t find one.

I’ll stop by some sportsman’s and see if they have any of the G4 left. They had a couple the last time I was in.

Thanks!

Been looking at this same criteria for a few weeks now.

Best I can come up with and 3 oz away is this https://tractoptics.com/toric-uhd-3-15x42-t-plex-rifle-scope

Had the 2-10 version for a while. Too much parallax for me, got rid of it.

I bought one with the g4 at the local sportsman's Warehouse in October, they didn't show in the website but they were in stock at $399.

I think Leupold made their VX2 in 4-12 with the Long Range Duplex. A duplex with three dots on the vertical. I use it zeroed at 200, and the dots are dang close at 300, 400, and 500. I have 3 VX6s in 2-12 that are my go to elk scope. I have the LRD in a 4-12 and a 3-9 and like them a lot. I don't dial on my elk rifles for the same reason as you, I can't find one to meet all my criteria and the dots get me to 500 just fine.

I bought the last one with the G4 reticle a few days ago at my local Sportsman's Warehouse. Optics are outstanding. Haven't shot under it yet though.

That model is discontinued as several have pointed out... but it is going to come back in a 30mm tube. Maybe as early as this spring.

Any other potential changes? (Illuminated dot please)

No reticle changes were mentioned and there were a couple different Vortex folks in the conversation.

I doubt that the 1.5-8x32 will return in the 30mm tube, but I think they will add an additional model to the line-up.

That too bad, I’ve become a fan of the 1.5-8x32 with the G4 BDC. I’m very intrigued by what they’ll offer though. My hope is it’s not yet another scope built for the long range crowd. There are very few, one could even argue zero, lightweight, durable, scopes that dial reliably for those occasional 300-500yd shots, or training, and have a reticle suitable for dark timber. i.e. built for the majority of hunters.
