So I’m looking at the leupold mark 4 spotting scope and I’m seeing prices vary by $600+ by just the reticle. Am I missing other features or is the tremor reticle worth the extra cost? I’ve tried to find threads covering this but haven’t found any yet

Not sure about it's usefulness, but the Tremor reticle is almost always more money. I wonder if there is a royalty payment associated with it.
To get the Horus Vision Reticles, the scope manufacturer pays a premium licensing fee to set their reticles in any manufacturer's scope products.
For example my S & B PMIi 5-45×56 in Desert Camo cost me $8600.with the TREMOR 3 Reticle, while a MilRad Reticle in the same scope cost $7500, and that was 2 yrs ago.
If it had the money 1 yr earlier, I would've saved $1,000 on both scopes

Yup. NF price is $300 more for the same scope with just a horus reticle.
I have had a mk4 with tmr reticle a few years now and love it. For prs and minor corrections it does its job great. If you will be actively calling out corrections that need to be accurate then I'd get a horus reticle.
If no reticle than the gold ring is excellent as mentioned above.

I think I’m gonna go the same route and get the tmr reticle, now only to decide 12-40 vs 20-60. What do you guys think? I live it the south so no real chance of shooting over 1100yrds
I've been looking real hard at those 2 as I want one with a reticle for elr. Read a lot of posts on these a long time ago pretty sure @Terry Cross mentioned mirage/ atmospheric conditions make anything over 30x? useless. I am in the southwest so low humidity but high heat .
Horus reticles are AIDS.
Any reticle that lets you measure down to .1 or .2 tenths is all you really need. The less the better. Something that only resolved down to half mils will not be very useful. Being able to mil a target correctly gives you a nice advantage on planning your shot.
If this is for PRS... A set of binos would be a better investment.
