the size of vertical lines is correspond to 6 feet at 900 yards
distance. the horizontal distance between the two lines is cor-
respond to 20 Moa. the vertical size of chevron in the centre of
reticle is correspond to 6 feet at 300 yards distance.
crosshair reticle
Crosshair reticle gives a clearly aiming point, even when hard-
to-see game blends into the background. thinner posts and
crosshair center section covers a minimum of the target and allow
for less target coverage, making precision shots on small targets
easy.
Heavy posts stand out against cover and leads your eye directly to
the center intersection. the result is fast precision aiming.
Mil-dot reticle
Mil-dot reticle is a reliable means of determining distances to tar-
gets, establishing leads for moving targets, and for alternate aim-
ing points for windage and elevation holds.
Dots are spaced in one mil (milliradian) increments on the
crosshair. a distance to target can be calculated using the mil for-
mula, that is based on the size of the object being targeted.
look through the scope, and bracket the object between dots.
the space between dot centers subtends one milliradian (mil).
one mil. subtends 3.6 inches at 100 yards or 36 inches at 1,000
yards. to use this system effectively you must know the size of
the target.
