Swarovski reticles?

[lyle1]

Does anyone have any experience with the Z5 and #4 Reticle? This would be in the 3.5 x 18 x 44mm, for big game hunting? I plan on using this scope for dual purpose both close range bush hunting and long range, open mountain, hunting. I find the reticle very fine and am wondering if it will get "washed out" in low light conditions, close range, in the bush? Any other reticle suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the BRH on my 3.5-18x44 Z5, the BRX was just too thin for low light conditions.

I have the BRX fine in my 5.5-25x52 Z5 and I like the fine reticle, never tried it in the low light conditions though. I prefer too shoot at legal time to shoot..

I have a Z5 3.5-18x44mm with the BRX reticle on my Sako. I love it and I don't find it too fine but it's only a question of personnal preference. I love the scope and will be taking it for deer hunting in November.

I'll be able to comment a bit more about it after I used it in the bush. I've only shot at the range and on paper with it and I'm pretty happy with the result at 100, 200, 300 yards using cheap manufactured ammo. Swarovski's ballistic calculator is very user friendly and quite accurate.

100 yards

200 yards

300 yards (I missed with the fifth bullet)

The set up

This rifle is more accurate than I am.

I can tell you from personal experience that the 4a can get lost in the conditions you are describing; this is precisely why there is a plex reticle.

Irrespective of reticle, the Z5 3.5 is an apt choice offering outstanding optical performance, flexibility, and longevity...money well spent.

Subject to availability, I'd be happy to provide you with a quote.
