[QUOTE="tmwtrfwler, post: 1397483, member: 72596"] I spoke with the Leica rep that helped me with some previous questions. He said that the ER5's originally had thicker crosshairs and that after customer input they changed them to narrower ones. He feels like I may have one of the older models with the thicker crosshairs. Eurooptic had not heard of that change which is a bit curious. After hearing that I went home for lunch and did a daylight test from the kitchen window. That's a much better spot than my basement like the first pics in the original post. It appears totally fine in the daylight although certainly thicker. Maybe the Leica rep wasn’t blowing smoke when he told me that they changed the reticle to be thinner some time ago. Below is a side by side with 1 being the mounted one and two being the one in question. I will do a low light test tonight when I am at home. I’ll report what it looks like then. There hopefully is no issue at all now that I’ve done this test at lunch. Stay tuned. *all pics are at 2 magnification (the lowest mag in the scope's range). Important to note as each pic looks a bit different. it's difficult to make them exact with the iPhone. [/QUOTE]
