Thanks in advance

I can't accurately answer this question without looking at the scopes side by side and I do not have them in front of me.  If my recollection is correct, the reticle on the Elite 6500 appeared a bit bigger and bolder than in the Elite 4200 at the same magnification.  The way the reticle appears is a combination of the actual dimensions, field of view, eye relief, etc, so it is somewhat subjective.

BTT.

I am applying for a "media" badge for the next SHOT Show which requires proof, i.e. industry relevant stuff that I have written and posted here.
I will bring several of my threads back to the top to make them easier to find.
Thanks
ILya

P.S.  This one might actually be worth bringing back up, since I have been getting a lot of questions about Elite 6500 lately.

Thanks, ILya.
The more I've looked at the 6500 mil-dot, the more I like it. I don't have much use for the feature in a big game rifle, for my purposes. But, the mil-dots do make my eye go to the intersection of the axis.........................thanks
