[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 474736, member: 319"] Yes, it's the EBR-1 reticle. The posts come in when you turn the power down to give it more of a duplex (or 4a in this case) look. Though on this model the reticle stays quite thin and open in the center: [img]http://www.jonaadland.com/Hunting/Vortex/6-24X50PST/PICT0122.JPG[/img] The idea is if you're on low power, it's because you expect something might jump out at close range so the reticle needs to be bold, easy to see, quick to pick up so you can make a quick shot. When cranked up to 24X obviously you're doing something long range/precision where that's no longer a worry so it's zoomed in on the thin lines in the center. Really, I'm tellin' ya, it's a thing of beauty. :D On the SFP versions, the posts always stay the same and are always there, high or low power. On low power they don't come as close to the center to help with quick aiming, and on high power they don't get out of the way--they actually take up space that's used for more holdover on the FFP reticle.
