    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Those all make sense to me. I already have to think enough when shooting as it is, I don’t want to have to put so much effort into remembering everything in my reticle that I get paralyzed by thought while trying to decipher everything in front of me or getting lost in the pattern it all...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I like how you have the crosshairs descending in size. I think you’re on to something there. The 5 mils mark just isn’t needed I don’t think, but it also doesn’t detract from it either and some could find it useful. The tree to me, and this is no offense, reminds me of a linoleum floor tiling...

    For me, and this might just be me, but the tree seems to be overly complicated. I feel that it should be more simplified rather than being a collection of +,-,., and | symbols. Also on the horizontal crosshair if you’re only going to number 2, 5, and 10 mils then the full mil hash marks should...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Right, I understand why they do it. I also agree that 0.2 mil holds is not so much information that you get lost in it. I actually feel it makes everything more simple to use. I think 0.25 hash marks is like having a ruler divided into 1/3” segments when all of your measurements are in 1/2, 1/4...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    If my holds are gonna be something like 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 etc… then why have 0.25? It just makes it take a little longer to figure and involves more approximation on my part. Not impossible to do, but it’s not what I prefer to do.

    Which Oil Do You Use to Wet Mount Scopes

    Gentle strokes in the right spot negate the need to add lube prior to mounting. Some have problems finding that spot but it is there, trust me. The caveat to this is older mounts. They might require lube regardless. Especially if they’ve been mounted a lot.

    Maybe instead of hash marks we could use little skull outlines instead? :)

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Yes, that’s the plan, but if everyone just kept their mouth shut and didn’t voice their opinions then nothing would ever change. This is after all basically a thread stating what we want to see in a reticle.

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    For me it was way worse. Some say it’s great for astigmatism though. Trying one first would for sure be best. It’s a shame as I really like the idea of an eotech.

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Astigmatism affects people differently I think. I know with mine using a red dot like most it causes issues. A lot of people use eotechs instead because they say it’s much better but for me the eotech looks like a huge red smudge and is much worse.

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    No I completely get that it’s a compromise and I understand to offset aim with it. That I completely get. I do think a thicker circle and smaller dot might be better, and I don’t thinkI’m a 1/2 moa shooter all day long, but often enough I’m shooting targets that are small enough to get obscured...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    This has been my latest search, an optic to put on my Aero M5 and my SPRish rifle. Within my budget the closest I can find to what I would like is in the Athlon Helos 2-12 but the center dot is too big for what I want. A 1 moa center dot doesn’t help much for grouping and covers a lot of space...

    Honestly, I kinda like the reticle they got now.

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Yes! That’s why I like a fully illuminated reticle. Not everyone is shooting bright white painted targets on an open and manicured range.

    I think it’s also important to note that only about a quarter of their employees are in the US. They have about twice as many employees in Taiwan than the US and the rest are in other various countries. Not shitting on Garmin here, just adding perspective. Edit: That number also depends on...

    Your number 2 is my number 1 feature I would like to see.

    Any 1911 aficionados here?

    Once you get used to that obnoxious checkering you’ll love the feel of it. At least that’s how it was for me.

    I don’t think anyone is saying that either. Taiwan might not be the slave labor capital of the world but it sure aint at zero either. And I would venture to say they get a lot of their parts from China. So it’s all in how much is acceptable to you. Is some ok to a point or is it all bad...

    I suppose we all have our own place in that spectrum of what we deem as an acceptable level of foreign made vs ripoff’s vs affordable alternatives vs what amount of slave labor we are willing to accept for whatever reasons that might be. For that reason I don’t see this hurting Garmin much. It...
