More like the TReMoR2 with some of the 59 features added back in. Cleaner than the 59 I think. Maybe a bit more busy than the 2. Hard to tell with the picture provided.

The write up on the new F1 ATACR's list the TReMoR3 as an option but no pictures are shown. There is nothing on the Horus website either. Anyone know anything about this one?

Mine is FFP with the 4B reticle.

I have a 3-12X56 Meostar that is terriffic. I have a Zeiss 5-25x50 HD5 and a NF NXS 3.5-15X56. The Meostar is a hunting scope and not a tactical scope. The one I own does not tunnel at low power and I fail to see any quality issues. What I do see, and I recognize the subjective aspect of scopes...

I have no idea. It is certainly inferior to the Horus. Once past the 2nd mil extension there are two mil gaps between the extensions. There is a lot of free air to have to float a wind hold in.

But a Gen2 XR is laid out in true mil radian format. It is not as well populated as the Horus having extensions only at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 mils, but it is a true mrad reticle.

Not really. Even when using a capable ballistics program that calculates the wind compensation the extended hash marks provide an anchor for the hold. I don't have to choose between dialing for the wind or floating it out there on a guess.

Thanks!

Litehiker thanks for the response. Whether or not one is in an environment that allows a visual on a miss (usually not in Michigan) it seems to me that the reticle layout would make windage holds "in the field" much easier. True? Of course that might be true for any of the Christmas Tree type...

Interesting post LouBoyd and I suppose it's the result of my not providing a quote or at least the name the individual I was addressing. Litehiker said "I own an ERS with an H59 reticle" and it was to that my question was directed. So the question was directed at the reticle not the make of...

How do you like the Horus? I've never heard anyone with a take it or leave it opinion. It's love it or hate it.

I'm in SE Michigan and to my knowledge there is nowhere I can go to look through a Bender. I'm not concerned with the glass--I know the glass is terrific. But I do want to compare reticles and I am, at least so far, stuck with the PDF online examples. So, for those familiar with these reticles...
