Opinion - S&B LRR Reticle

[CameronWilson]

Have any of you guys had the opportunity to play around with the Schmidt & Bender LRR reticle?

Are the crosshairs finer than the P4FL?

There is a thread in here somewhere discussing it. 

In answer to your question yes the LRR ret is thinner than the P4FL. The LRR ret is 0.02 mils thick the later is 0.04 mils. So half the thickness of that.

I strongly advise you get behind one before spending any money. Like all things reticles are personal opinion. My thoughts are that it’s far too fine. I don’t like it, it gets lost very easily. It’s only saving grace is that it’s new day light bright illumination, which you NEED. Otherwise you would struggle to see in at certain mag ranges and backgrounds. That said I’ve only used the 5-25 model. Apparently it’s much better on the high power models which make sense. 

Here is also a magazine review specifically on the LRR ret:

That’s great - thanks very much for the info!

If you wanted something similar, but going for the 5-25, rather than the high power. I know you can order them with them with the new MSR 2 reticle.

This would be my choice.
