![]() For that reason, I hold a strong preference for technical or Christmas tree style reticles. While they certainly can help with holdovers and do reduce guesswork, I find them to leave a lot to be desired in terms when it comes to precision applications. However, I think it should be kept in mind when comparing it’s features to other reticles available in competitive products.įirst disclosure: I’m not a fan of BDC reticles. This doesn’t mean I won’t be critical of the reticle. It’s important to keep in mind that this reticle design is exclusive to the Vortex Diamondback riflescope product line which is composed of good quality value priced scopes. That is a broad claim which is similar to the marketinging claims for plenty of other bullet drop compensation (BDC) reticles. Again paraphrasing, this reticle is good for hunting/shooting at varying ranges where estimating holdovers is a concern. As I do that I will do my best to disclose opinions that may be tainted by my personal biases.Īccording to Vortex while paraphrasing, the reticle features a customized dot design that helps eliminate guesswork on holdover and windage corrections. I suppose the best way to approach that challenge is to measure the reticle’s functional effectiveness or efficiency against the applications it is marketed for. Unfortunately, this is going to be one of those reviews that is going to take some effort to keep my biases in check to give it a fair objective shake. As promised in my review of the Vortex Optics Diamondback 3.5-10×50 riflescope review, this is my review of the Dead-Hold BDC reticle that was included with it.
