I had a long talk with Thomas Pelke durign SHOT and looked at the new dual focal plane 1-8x24 with MDR-T6 reticle.
This looks like a VERY well sorted out scope and MDR-T6 reticle is probably the best reticle design I have seen for a 1-8x scope yet.
I have sorta been ignoring S&B for a couple of years waiting for something new and exciting and I got my wish: 1-8x24 with PMD-T6 and 5-25x56 with GR2ID just about knocked my socks off and I am pretty difficult to impress.

The GR2ID reticle photos I've seen have been vastly superior to the computer generated images (which make it look too dense or crowded due to heavier dot thickness, I think). From what I gather, you're not generally a fan of overly complex grid or holdover reticles, but it sounds like the GR2ID impressed you. Anything in particular that they did differently with it that impressed you so much?
@generalzip and @koshkin
Did you happen to look at the PMD-T6 on 1x without the dot on? In other words is there enough reticle (it appears there would be a "T" style image) so that 1x is not fully dependent upon the flash dot?
Super excited about that scope; glad they ditched the turrets that were on the SFP and High Power models that had like a suction action; I dig these locking MTC's like mini UltraShort turrets. And by FAR the best looking reticle for the top end magnification. I still wish they would jump up to that next step middle ground and do a 2-12x/3-15x for the next gen DMR guns that isn't the bulk of an Ultra Short.
Thank you. that makes sense.
One seller listed the Pantone as Pantone 7504m.
I ordered the Pantone as it was slightly more preferable to my eyes.
