Glen, I don't have any actual through-the-scope MSR photos of my own, but below are five (5) through-the-scope photos through an MSR-equipped PMII 5-25X courtesy of the <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">

According to FinnAccuracy's MSR Reticle Dataheet, the main line width of the MSR is .05 MIL/0.18", which is between S & B's PMII P4 (0.24") and P4F (.130") PDFs'.
For visual reference, below are four (4) JPEGs' of the MSR PDF at 25X, 15X, and 5X power. The first JPEG is of the MSR 25X and shows the reticle line widths. The PDF is courtesy of <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">

Theres' always the Gen 2 XR, but as I'm sure you know the Gen 2 XR hasn't been available in new S & B PMIIs' for several years now, and as such Gen 2 X-equipped PMIIs' command a premium. Find a Seller with a CCW version who knows what its' worth and you're usually looking at $3,500.00+.
I know that some people don't like the Gen 2 XR, saying that the (.5 MIL) hashes are larger than the (MIL) Dots so they confuse the MIL and the .5 MIL points. What - hows' that? Its' a very simple system - a Dot is a MIL and a Hash is a .5 MIL. I know people are wired differently, but IMHO if someone can't tell the difference between a Dot and a Hash then they should get their eyes checked, or possibly stop handling firearms altogether.

There are actually quite a few PMIIs' that are available with the 13 MIL ST (Single Turn) Elevation Turret (the 3-12X 50 and 3-12X 50 P, the 4-16X 42 LP, 4-16X 50 P, AND 4-16X 50 LP). You can also get the 13 MIL ST with MTC Elevation Turret on the 4-16X 42 P/MTC and 4-16X 42 LP/MTC. However, all PMII 5-25Xs' are DT, as neither the 27.3 MIL travel of the 0.1 MIL Turret version nor the 65 MOA travel of the .25 MOA Turret version can be accomodated in a ST Turret.
Hope this helps.
