Optika illuminated dot. The dot it daylight useable as you can see. The dot & image is much clearer in person. The dot is confined and very precise. This Tactacam, video does not show the reticle & dot as clean & precise as they are. justice. I had the Tactacam on lowest setting and downloaded it in lowest , whatever you call it. This scope is a keeper. I probably should of waited until the BDC with a dot was in stock , however I do not really need hash marks for 10-60 yards. Going to be a great tree squirrel scope. I bought it from Scopelist or Euro optics. I tried the dichroic & did not keep it, got this one with a battery illumination. Awesome scope IMO.

I got mine the other day and i must say it's absolutely the best bang for buck scope I've ever touched.

The glass I'd say is slightly better than a Sightron S3 especially in the center. The sightron is slightly flatter to the edge of the FOV, but then meopta has a bigger FOV. Resolution and contrast are fantastic. CA is minimal when visible at all. It's not quite in the league of my Delta stryker (few I've looked through are) but it's probably 85% as good overall and closer to 90+% in the middle 2/3 of the field. The eyebox is also in no way small or difficult.

Mechanically it's just about perfect with wonderful weight and precision to the zoom and parallax. I like the way the zoom numbers face back toward you - nice touch. 

The feel of the clicks very similar to a sightron S3, with the benefit of more travel per turn, beefier lockable turrets and zero stop (on my model at least). The turrets track perfectly for me and return to zero without issue.

So with that said if you're up for dialing then you can pretty much go for either reticle and be perfectly happy. Personally I'd go for the mildot for two reasons - the first is the center dot on the bdc is very fat and depending on your application may get irritating (although the zplus I got also has a rather large dot and it's been no issue for me at least), and the second is for basic holdovers a mildot is a standard that any ballistic calculator has, plus has many more aimpoints than the bdc which is pretty much specific for 6.5 Creedmoor if I remember right.

Either I suspect way you're going to be very happy with the scope 👍🏻

Hi. Just to be clear: the video is from the one you got now, or from the first Dichro that you send back? 

Thx!!

From the one I have now. Which is battery operated illumination & works awesome. The dichro did not work for me. Not enough illumination when & where you need it.

made up my mind and went for the MilDot3 reticle.

there’s just not much to find of what’s inside the box! Only found one YT video, and it looks like there’s not 2 much in it! Looks like an allen key and manual. Not sure if the “bikini-strap” comes with it. But DEFO no sunshade or flip-up covers! All optional i guess. We’ll see. 

Anyway, thx for the help overhere! And if that image/video is taken @ low quality, i think i will be amazed if i look trough it! 

Cheers.

Did you receive your scope in the end?

Curious to hear you thoughts if so.
