S&B A7 or A4.
Thick Recticle Scope
- Thread starter 30-06
- Start date
I recommend Leupold VX2 scopes with the duplex style reticle as they have thicker central crosshairs than S&B equivalents even though the outer legs of the Leupold duplex crosshair is thinner. I use them on three of my rifles (example below is a Leupold VX2 1-4x20) and even at 4x they work out to 1000yds at Bisley in the sense that the central intersection just covers the white sticker in the middle of the big black target disc.

This seems to be a good bet. Where could I get one of them. Thanks.
Trouble with the Leupolds (for me) is that the eye relief seems very fussy.

They do - just mark the distances on the dial with a fine permanent marker. Pretty much what they did with first generation of l96 sniper scopes which used the 6x42.

S&Bs 3-12x50 are the same thickness

They’re impossible to find. I can get you a virtually new one for £1,050 if interested - probably the only one for sale in the UK.

They’ll fit one for a small fortune

I have 2 Zeiss fixed power scopes. Both are 6×42 with number 4 reticles,3/6/9 o'clock quite fat with thin intersection in centre.
Cost less than £400 each,both superb picture until late in the evening, daytime crisp without flare.
Might be something to consider. Quite often a bargain to be had,both mine came from Scottish gunshops from traded in estate rifles.
Good luck with the search.

No - I mean one that doesn’t need the cap taken off to dial.
It depends on the model. All three of my Leupold VX2 scopes have generous eye relief so it's important to try out different versions.
I have a steel tubed S&B 4-12x50 on my stutzen and would happily let it go as I hate thick reticles. Its ony the need to find an alternative in the 2nd image plane with exactly the same external objective diameter that's putting me off:

These look to be retrofitable to 6x42 and 10x42 S&B Scopes. Does any body done this?
