cheaptrick,
The posts are thicker than the std duplex on my SII 1.5-6x42. I hope to do an initial 100 yd sight in tomorrow and a 200-300 yard sight in next weekend. At first glance, the AO on teh objective bell works well for me being a lefty and a bipod or shooting sticks. The theory behind the reticle is a zero at 200 yards should put the first mark at 300 and the second at 400. I will be testing the 300 yard mark next weekend...

I bought a 2.5-10x32 Sightorn for a friend a little while back. It is a nice little scope and should work well on an AR.

Please let me know when you conclude your review, Sir. I don't think I've seen a review on the HHR and I'm most interested.
Thank you!

Leupold VX-I 2-7 shotgun scope has a heavy duplex.
Bushnell makes a 3200 in 3-9 and something like a 1.5-4.5, both with a glow-in-the-dark firefly reticle.

I just put a Sightron SII 4.5-14x42 with a HHR on my 223. I hope to have it out tomorrow to check out the scope and review it...

If you can afford it, this would be the one to get for night time coyote hunting.

You may want to consider a bigger objective than 32mm for night hunting. I'd probably opt for a 50mm objective in that case.
I think Sightrons Hunter Holdover reticle is thicker than the plex.

One more question. I will be using this scope for some night time coyote calling, so i want a reticle with thicker lines that will be easier to see at night. How thick are the lines on the Sightron Plex reticle? What other scope makers have a scope that would fit this bill? |
