With a properly designed reticle, illum wouldn’t be needed.

Exactly

Thanks for the great write up. I truly enjoyed my conversations with Jon at the Great western Hunting Expo and the international sportsman’s expo. Jon is very knowledgeable but is an extremely humble guy. It’s unfortunate more people you talk to at those shows aren’t like him.

So then why didn’t he (or whoever the Tract rep was/is on Rokslide, JWTract) join the party over there and offer a scope to test? That guy did the opposite. He got incredibly evasive once the questions started. So evasive that many folks said they’d no longer consider a Tract scope due to the way questions were dodged. Whatever the case, thanks for taking the time to post your findings here.

And I see this post over there now too. Good stuff.

In this series of rifle scopes you have 4 different reticle choices, my personal preference was the SFP BDC reticle. the mrad/mrad used in the test would have been my last choice of the 4.
Great write up

Nice workup, sir.

For anyone serious about scope performance, a reliable, solid bench mounted scope checker like the one pictured is a tool that will pay for itself many times over.

Good shootin' -Al

Awesome. Thanks for doing the 3' drop zero retention. Looking forward reading the results.


Visiting the reticle again... If someone likes the reticle and wants a 9 mils of windage hold or likes the 18+ mil spacing between the outer post, then great for you. The closer heavy bars are beneficial for the hunting I do, both long and short. On a target it's fine to ignore the extra hashes. While hunting in low light, broken backgrounds, or faster target acquisition, the extra spacing hurts...this can't be "ignored".

After using a lot of reticles, the following is really, really good for a FFP hunting reticle....I think the only improvement I'd recommend is limiting illumination to only the inner .5 mil plex...or even removing illumination to lighten the scope and simplify:

GOOD illumination,is NEVER a "compromise" and is rather soothing in The Jungle. Hint.

The TT above,is very 1-6x FFP Lit Bitch HD-esque,though shy of same. Hint.

1x here. Hint.



6x here. No big deal to stretch it to 1000yds++ or gun it like a RDS. It is an amazingly handy bitch. Hint.






The 2-12x Gen2 FFP Mil/Mil Lit Bitch's reticle is squarely sensational for killing. That again,no matter the distance. Hint.







Just sayin'.

Hint.................

Great review John. Regarding your suggestions for the reticle, I concur with the following additional modification—I would add a relatively small 0.05mil floating center dot instead of the intersecting crosshairs at the center. This would allow for a fine aiming point on paper and small targets.

Very good review. I have 3 of the new\ scopes with SFP/T plex reticles and for a hunting scope I feel they are ideal.

I like the TT reticle, but it could be improved. I have the SS 1-6HD and it’s reticle is probably the closest to the do it all FFP reticle out there but I’d still change a couple of things for a long range capable hunting scope. I’d remove the CQB circle and probably the upper post to declutter the FOV for spotting your own impacts and in a higher magnification application like the Toric Hunter, I’d thin up the center portion to probably .05 or maybe .07 mils, and I really like what the THLR reticle does with its bottom post. It brings it up to 1.3 mils below center so you can use it for a dead on hold for close range, so I’d do that.

Thanks for a very comprehensive and thorough test.

Excellent review - thank you for taking the time (and sharing).

I don't know how in the hell anyone is supposed to take this test seriously when there is no nail polish on the screws and pretty colored tape.

It’s the shooting equivalent of spandex.

I place no credence in any scope review that wasn’t conducted in a public park with the optic clamped to the ramada support post.

No candy for you …

That was a great review. On a separate note, do you miss the Stick that much you need to invoke him to review the review?

Why not just review the review?

I like to be rather thorough,in a critique. Hint.
