German #4 Reticle

[edmehlig]

Toying with the idea of getting a scope with the German #4 Reticle Heavy Duplex with or without a illuminated Red dot. Anybody have a scope like this? What’s your opinion. I haven’t seen any in any stores

I think Meopta might have a couple that dont cost a fortune. They still are not cheap but i think they offer German #4.

I saw a Bushnell with that reticle. Not expensive but I don't know how the quality is today. They were good at one time.

I think Bushnell has it on one of the Engage models. Low power 1-4x AR tactical scope. The Razor HD LH i got has a modified #4 hence the name. G4-BDC and HSR-4. I found a couple more of the Razors for about $450 with the HSR-4 like mine. I really like that reticle and the glass is really nice too.

I was thinking of contributing my $100 Natchez gift card towards getting this scope for my grandson's Marlin 336C 30-30 rifle. What do you guys think of this scope?
Burris FullField E1 Rifle Scope - 3-9x40mm Illum 3P#4 Reticle Matte. I want him to pay the balance as I feel if he contributes towards it, he'll take better care of it knowing how long it took him to earn it??

They no longer offer that scope so getting specs is a pain atm. Go to the Burris website for the current E1 models. At the bottom of the page in reviews is a pic of the illuminated #4....Looks kinda cool

Looks like it may be a "Phillipines" scope, but I've had excellent success with'em. Makes a lot of sense for a shorter-range gun.

The E1 series has been a favorite of mine . Especially the 2x7. I like the simple E1 Rifle Plex what I call "floating reticle" . I find it not overly busy with hash marks. Easier to use. Good eye relief .
The new Fullfield IV has some nice features.
All have decent price points.
Have never had a Burris to fail me. Not to say it can't though.

The new model reticle is a little different but kinda cool. Sadly the FF IV and Sig HD are made in China. As far as i know all the other FF lines are from the Phillipines. No other scope they sell has this reticle but the Veracity FFP E1 is close.

Dunns has a good deal on a 4-12x42 with side focus. This is cheaper than im seeing anywhere else atm

I use a Kahles 6x42, Meopta 6x42 and a Leupold 6x42 all with the #4 reticle. I prefer the fixed 6x but they are getting harder to find

Suggested name for Chinese scopes. “Chope”

I hope Burris has a winner with the FF IV just because it looks good on paper and a couple of the reticles are interesting. The Sig HD line though while they look nice they are also in the price range of other scopes made in Japan, USA and Philippines. A couple of them are in the Veracity and Meopta price range too. I meen, you know you will like Meopta glass and the warranty is less likely to be used.

Burris scopes made in the Philippines seem ok for the price. A few are even exceptional when on sale.

I have a Swarovski Z3 3-9x36mm with a 4A reticle on a Jack Plate on my Ravin crossbow. Love the reticle in this scope, used to have one on my TC.

Don’t need illumination with this one.

 

[Having fun now]

I have a meopta meopro 4-12x50 on my 243 and it is by far my favorite reticle. A little heavier crosshairs easier to pick up in low light and the thin upper crosshair seems to give me a better view with my old eyes. Looking for something withe the red dot also.

I'm sending my Habicht back for the same reticle when I save up the 150 bucks.
