Tremor 3 and Mil XT Illumination

[BlackDogDiesel]

I am considering taking the plunge on an ATACR 5-25 F1 and am still deciding on reticle. Currently torn between Tremor 3 and Mil XT. I have always assumed the Tremor 3 subtensions were not visible in dark environments even with illumination as the stock pictures only show dots in the crosshairs illuminated.

Then I stumbled on this picture. Does the illumination in the Tremor 3 light up any of the subtensions and windage holds? Is the visibility of the windage holds on the Mil XT similar? Would like to see better pictures of these in low light if anyone has them.

Thanks

Depending on the magnification and scope, the illumination may bleed into the reticle and appear as though the entire T3 is lit up. It’s not

Here’s some pics of a T3 Steiner

For me, the T3 was a little too busy and honestly I don’t have the time to learn the Tremor system.

Just got a Mil xt to try out. I like it and think that it’s a good tree reticle, but could do without the half-mil ghost marks ( they seem out of place with the rest of the reticle). For my eyes, The Mil-xt is less busy than a T3, but I’m very accustomed to the Mil-R. Which is pretty damm minimal

Here’s a pic of the Mil-Xt illumination
It’s essentially a Mil-C when illuminated

Man, that looks like a landing strip in a flight simulator game. Ha!

Elnino, thank you for the information and pictures. If anyone else has some decent pictures of either reticle in low light, I would still be interested to see them.

If they were through the scope while in the field looking down range, that would be awesome.

The half-mil marks can be handy for edge-of-target holds.

The Tremor reticle are exceeding busy UNTIL you actually shoot through them. Then all you see is the needed dot, they rest disappear to the eye
