Regarding standard scope "plex" reticles, I have long been a fan of Zeiss's Z-Plex for deer hunting. Reason being, you can see the crosshairs well enough to place them on the vitals of a deer until the end of legal shooting time....and beyond. I haven't found that to be the case with most other quality scopes I've owned or tested over the years. Towards the end of shooting light, most decent scopes have good enough glass to see the deer well enough, but lining up the crosshairs on the vitals well enough to execute the shot is another story. They're too thin and/or too faint. Again, that's why I love Zeiss's Z-Plex. I own 3 of them and need another...but I thought I would float a question on the forum here regarding crosshairs among the other brands.
My question is this: For those of you who are familiar with the Zeiss Z-Plex reticle and get what I'm talking about, what other scope manufacturers are you aware of who offer similar reticles? The Z-Plex is thick and bold on the outside, and fine and bold on the inside. And it will flat show up on a deer's side at dusk. I'm wondering what other options there might be other than Zeiss to get the same performance in a plex reticle? Thanks....any input would be much appreciated.
