    Is the reticle fine enough for longer range rabbit shooting Tahr.

    I have the ballistic reticle and its about the same thickness as the Zeiss z600/z800 so I would think that it might be marginal for fine bunny stuff.

    Thanks.
    I asked them for subtensions a week or so ago but the said they were still working on putting that info up
    I could email and they said they would give them to me but wanted to wait until you got yours to see what you think of the dialing ability and the return to zero consistency.

    Pretty happy with my Athlon Ares BTR so far.

    Clicks are a bit mushy but accurate.

    Reticle is excellent but have not shot bunnies with it. Being ffp it would be better with a floating centre dot.
