[QUOTE="PETERW, post: 855666, member: 9474"] I've just bought an ATACR and welcomed your review when researching the scope. It was comforting to see that the reticle was correctly representing true MOA on the hash marks and the extra elevation on top of the advertised 120 MOA was an added bonus which I hope to share on mine. Your comments on the clarity of the scope are certainly born out by my experience. I took my Zeiss Diavari in 6-24x72mm with me to the shop I purchased mine from and comparing the two off a sandbag on a bi-pod outside on a dull day the ATACR had a brighter picture. Looking at dense trees in shade the image was surprisingly better when you consider the larger objective lens on the Zeiss. The improvement in the lens coating on this scope is very impressive. The clarity of image goes a long way to off set any concerns on the centre cross hair thickness. If I had the chance of asking for a finer centre cross hair I agree it would be the model I would choose but even if offered later I doubt I would go to the trouble of sending the scope in to have the reticle changed. If the illuminated option could also be altered to select just the centre cross hair and not the whole ranging reticle and this was offered in a thinner version - then I might well do so. Here in the UK we can shoot after dark on vermin or on Deer if they are being culled to preserve forestry or crops. Using lamping equipment or front mounted Night Vision the smaller illuminated area would provide a clearer sight picture in this use. The likelihood of needing the whole reticle to assist with aim off or judging bullet splash in the dark is a none starter for me - but I do find uses for the illuminated option if the scope is to have a wider application than ELR target shooting or LRH during dawn/dusk. Again, if the centre cross hair was only illuminated , this would be quite useful in dense woodland such as our Forestry Plantations if shooting at dawn and dusk from a high seat. I like a low setting small illuminated reticle for this. S&B has this option on their Mil reticles as does Leupold. It works well for me - but these scopes cannot compete on internal elevation. All told I am very impressed with the ATACR as is - but agree that there are one or two things which could make it even better. [/QUOTE]
