I was shooting it at the range for the 1st time and during a break when some were changing targets, another shooter walked over and told me he also had one but with the CD reticle.
I confessed I wasn't aware of what it was and ask to see it -- and I decided I had to have one so mine with the Plex reticle is for sale.
It's been on my rifle for about 15 rounds and it does have a very small mark from one of the rings --- not obvious but it's there. Complete with the box and everything that comes with it.
It is a superb scope but I want one with the other reticle.
Cash Priced @ $1250 + shipping & insurance. If this price doesn't ring your bell nothing will.
NOTE: The new Z6 series from Swarovski has the reticle in the 2nd focal plane unlike the earlier PH models.
I can take photos if needed but I don't think the camera will pick up the only small surface mark.

Bill,
That's got to be one of the very best scopes available for us hunters!!

The reticle I want is called the "CD" for Circle-Dot and the only way you can get one for the 1.7-10x42 Z6 is if you get the illuminated model --- and that's what I want so this one needs to find a new home.

Yep, the CDi is pretty cool, this is a great scope you got there Bill, I'm wavering on what to put on my 378 WBY, this scope or a nightforce 2.5x10??????

I'm sure I know which one it should be and I'd be very happy to make a suggestion.
Have you checked the field-of-view for each of them.
I know you're supposed to be able to pound nails with the Nightforce but I rarely use my scopes for carpentry work.

Carpentry aside, a 378 Weatherby has the kind of recoil that's a real test for scopes.

I've seen the Z6i (illuminated) on a .460 Weatherby (I wouldn't even consider shooting one)but I will admit the ,378 Weatherby is another rifle that I wouldn't care to shoot unless it weighed at least 13-15 pounds -- they do let you know when you turn one loose.
