Leupold Firedot 4 reticle?

[shuter]

Guys, I'm trying to decide on which Firedot reticle to go with in a Leupold VX-6 1-6. I'm thinking the Firedot 4 for a .375 "all around" rifle, but Leupold's reticle subtension chart shows the heavy part of the Firedot 4 is actually thinner than the Firedot duplex? I'm wanting more like the German #4. I will call Leupold next week and verify but I'm guessing their chart is incorrect.

For those of you with the Firedot 4, is it a thick reticle like the German #4 or thinner? Also, is the opening wide like the German #4?

Thanks!

Firedot 4 is great I have one in my VX-R on my 375 Ruger. Very quick target acquisition. I'll see if I can find a picture through the scope. I know I have one somewhere. The heavy part seems to stand out well to me but still gives you the whole picture.

Thank you! Do you know what magnification power the scope was on? Which VX-R do you have?

That was at 1.25 on the 1.25-4x

On My VX 3 number 4 reticle the left/right and bottom crosshairs thicker than on my VX 6.
