Anyone using Leupy with a Windplex reticle ?
What is it like for real-world application ? Hunting / gongs beyond point-blank range (300 - 600 yds) ?
How easy is it to use the reticle for holding off on wind ? Do you find the hash marks disappear in "busy" backgrounds or particular light conditions ?
Ta, ebf
Would you like one to try? Attachment 80434
Just send it back at some point......
Hmmm, do you have another one with lower magnification ? 2-7, 3-9 or 3.5-10 ? :D
Sorry @ebf no I don't. However if you want the one above for a trial it's yours for a bit.Quote:

Really like my TMOA, makes holding off in the wind and quick changes if the wind changes easy.
I used to dial for wind but now only dial elevation and hold for wind and think it’s a better system.
I use it on my 308 in 3x9. It works perfect out to 550 which is all i can dial with the zero stop. Think most ive held is 4-5 moa
Do you have a spare Elle McPherson?Quote:

But they both work well & after all if you need more than 10moa of windage it's probably a little gusty to be shooting at animals.
Dun'o how good it would work on gongs out ta 1970's yards though :ORLY: :x_x::slow::D hahahaha
Ive got the equivalent reticle in a Burris scope and like it a lot.
Is definitely not too busy, and the hashes are as easy to pick out and any milling reticle.
Have heard complaints that the Leupold windplex is a bit too heavy for precision work, but I have never been able to find and subtensions only to compare against my Burris.
The Burris is definitely heavier than my VX6 Tmoa, but I've never found it an issue.
TMOA is an awesome reticle, far better than the Windage plex for precision shooting at little targets
What am I missing here ? Both have 1 MOA hash marks... Other than better glass in the VX6, why is it far better ?Quote:

Its thinner and has an open centre, as well as the obvious vertical hashes also.Quote:

And the TMOA are thinner with a gap in the center. Windage plex is quite heavy but fine for Goat, Deer huntingQuote:

What I am thinking of is using CDS for elevation, and using wndplex for wind holdover. The subtentions on both WindPlex and TMOA are the same size ?
Ah, tx fellas, just saw the replies about TMOA being thinner :thumbsup:
I'm running one of these:
Attachment 80567
https://www.redfield.com/_media/down...9x40_scope.pdf
Holds zero, dials repeatedly and is made in Oregon. I use the turret for elevation and the plex for wind. The scope dials in 1/4 moa units.
The reticle hash marks are in two MOA increments. I've compared it with my brothers windplex in his 3-9 Leupold and we both agreed this was a lot more usable at ranges out to 700. We both felt the 1 moa subtensions of the Loopy were too fine when holding for wind using 9 power at 5-700. They may work better when you have a higher power.
