    I don't like the thicker crosshair on the B&C reticle
    The thicker crosshair model is certainly great in the bush for animals but not ideal for paper IMO

Size:  978.5 KB I have a 3-18x44 on my 7mmwsm 3.2kg rifle and it holds zero good and tracks fine so far and have dialled out to 500 yrds and back to zero no problems fitted moa/cds caps to elv and wind, just make sure you tighten up the locking allen keys tight and its a basted trying to find a new allen key when you lose the factory one, overall good scope for an all round hunting rifle

    My 2-12 is good in all aspects except the elevation turret moves when rubbed against clothing or stuff in the bush. A locking turret and slightly thinner cross hairs would make it near perfect.

    can they not be bought with a fine reticle?

    edited to say

    Guess not, just had a look at the reticle options.
    getting pretty good press in general though from what I've been able to find so far.

    3-18x44 going well. Dialled out to +800m and back repeatably but as mentioned, thinner crosshairs would be a bonus.
    Good glass for the money.

    You can get fine duplex.

    I have 2-12, still happy.

    Got the boon and crocket as always, cant think why you would want a thinner recticle unless dedicated target and then there is probably more suitable scopes available.

    Just about the reticle. I've always understood that the duplex is thicker on the 2-12 than the higher mag models which have the "fine duplex" reticle?

    Thar I have the duplex vx6 3-18 which is the same as the 2-12 that VC has, think I sold Matt2308 his one as well with the same reticle.
    The fine duplex is not good for hunting as VC said, unless punching paper is your thing.
