......For example, does anyone really want their 2.5 with a wide duplex reticle?.... With complete respect, I do want, and like, my 2.5x with a heavy duplex. In the deep woods of Northern New England, that heavy reticule is just excellent for picking out what I'm aiming at from twigs, branches, understory, etc. in the deep woods. Especially so in low light situations. Might not be PC, but give me the braille method anytime. It's fast and helps result in a sure outcome, if one is to be had. I believe you're confusing wide duplex and heavy duplex. I do not distinguish any difference between the wide and the heavy duplex. Please clarify, so I can clear this up!

When I got a 308 Win I put a NIKON 4x that I had laying around on it. It has been a good combination and offers all the magnification I need out to 300 yards.

In the wide duplex the wide refers to the spacing between the tips of the thick parts of the reticle, not the thickness of the thin bars in the middle of the reticle. In the heavy duplex the heavy refers to the line thickness of the bars in the middle of the reticle.

The German 4 as depicted there is dumb. Just doesn't speak to you?
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

My favorite Leupold reticle is the post & duplex. The thick part isn't as bold as the heavy duplex and the center is the same thickness. 4X scope, the truck is about 120 yards away. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/HRkdEVx.jpg)

![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/208348.png) Trijicon knows how to make a German #4! DaveinWV, your reticle looks like Leupold's take on a #4, not a post and duplex.
