Rifle Scopes Anyone have or use the Horus H59 vs the Horus Tremor reticle?

I have H59s, H58s, and had a Tremor 3. I have found no function for my application for the Tremor 3. The wind dots are more for rapid engagement of multiple targets at distance or movers than anything else. Not having the wind dots has never caused me an issue. I prefer (as most) the H59.
There are a lot of great gridded systems out there. Everyone has copied/modified the gridded system. There is an up charge for the Horus vs other gridded systems. All of them work the same, it comes down to personal preference. I run H58s and H59s in all my scopes so they all look the same. Horus is the only system I can get the exact same system in damn near every scope manufacturer out there. Hope this helps.

This is extremely helpful actually. I was already thinking I like the h59 better but wanted to hear some other opinions. The H59 seems to be the best of what I have seen. Lots of scopes offer a xmas tree but nothing as good as the h59 from what I have seen and it is nice to have 3 scopes and all three are the same internally.

I’ve been shooting the H59 for a while now and really like it. I probably have fewer than 100 rounds behind Tremor 3, but didn’t have an issue with it. My next is likely a NF ATACR 4-16x42 with the T3 for a gasser, I’m interested to run them side by side.
Nope, wasn’t you.Whats the popcorn for? Did I just start a shit show?
Was a guy copy/pasting from other sites.
I haven’t had any complaints with the H59 or G2DMR Bushnells, but I don’t think I’ve ever shot a T2.
Looks like we won't get to hear from him any longer - at least not under that name.
I never was a Tremor fan myself. Everyone likes what they like, but the Tremor just never made sense - to me.
P4F/MSR/MSR2/H59/SKMR3/GRID/LRR-MIL. If I can't do what I want with one of those then I feel I need therapy
H59 is GTG.
I have a couple Bushnell hdmr’s and one steiner with the H59 reticles. I really like the christmas tree style for windage holdovers. After buying the Steiner M-series I realized how easy they were to use, bought a couple other optics with the same reticle.
Currently 3-21 bushnell’s are mounted on an Anschutz 1517 MPR 17hmr, an Anschutz CS 1416 22lr, and steiner 5-25 on a UGSW bolt gun in 223ai.
Wouldn’t hesitate to buy another optics with the h59. No experience with tremor 3. Figure if it aint broke, don’t go fuckin with it.

I prefer H58 and H59 reticles on optics around the 9x to 15x range. Work great when doing elevation and windage holds using the mil based system. With their thick lines while at these lower powers on the optic, I believe they work perfect while using the reticle.
T2 reticle is my favorite, and works really good on lower power with an optic. It is perfect when used as a DMR set up. T3 is my second pick, and I think this type of reticle works best on higher powered optics that go above 20x. Since the T3 lines are thinner, and similar to the H59 design, once you start getting higher in magnification it works really well.
Wind dots vs. Mil windage holds, everyone has their preference and how they apply it that makes it work for them. I use both methods, can work in both mph dots (once calibrated to your set up), and mil. I can still dial it all also if needed.
When selecting a optic and the H59 and T3 cost the same, I would go T3.

Yeah; estimating wind is of course the hard part. That said, as some have noted, when you do get it right (I am not the best wind caller), it does simplify subsequent holdovers because you can hold the same dot at each elevation.
I have 2 H59s and I really like them. Holding for elevation and wind is just easy with them. My shooting partner just bought a Tremor (not sure if its Tremor 2 or 3), but its seems so similar that I barely felt that I needed to adjust how I use the scope when I shot his rifle. I would not really say H59 or Tremor is better than the other. Just different IMHO
