The reticle is your riflescope's measuring tool. If you know how to read it, you can estimate range, compensate for bullet drop and correct for wind without touching the turrets. This guide collects, brand by brand, the reticles of the riflescopes available at Planet Shooters, with the technical data, images and official manufacturer spec sheets.
It is the same expertise we use in our workshop when we mount and zero optics for long-range shooters, hunters and competitors. If you are unsure which reticle best suits your use, write to us.
Other brands: the reticles of Zero Compromise, Element Optics, Primary Arms, Sig Sauer, Sightron, IOR, Delta Optical, Sightmark and other Vector, Hawke, Konus and Vortex models are in the second part of the guide.
Part 3: the reticles of GPO, Optisan, Falcon, Dörr, Discovery, Mueller and Gamo are in the third part of the guide.
The reticle scales together with the image. Its MOA or MRAD values remain valid at any magnification: it is the typical choice for long-range shooting, PRS and tactical shooting.
Second focal plane (SFP)
The reticle stays the same size while the image changes. The values are exact only at one magnification, usually the maximum, stated in the spec sheet. At half that magnification each hash mark is worth twice as much. It is the classic hunting choice, because the center always remains clearly visible.
MOA
The minute of angle corresponds to about 2.9 cm at 100 m (1.047" at 100 yd). MOA turrets normally have ¼ MOA clicks, i.e. about 7 mm at 100 m.
MRAD (mil)
The milliradian corresponds to 10 cm at 100 m, 50 cm at 500 m and 1 m at 1000 m. Mil turrets normally have 0.1 mil clicks, i.e. 1 cm at 100 m. It is the most convenient system with metric distances.
Reticle and turrets in the same unit
If reticle and turrets use the same unit (MRAD/MRAD or MOA/MOA), you can measure the error on the reticle and dial it on the turrets without conversions. If they differ, as in the Trijicon AccuPoint Mil-Dot with MOA turrets, remember that 1 mil ≈ 3.44 MOA.
BDC reticles
Bullet Drop Compensator reticles have hash marks calibrated for a reference load and zero, specified by the manufacturer. With different ammunition the distances change: always verify them at the range or with a ballistic calculator.
Ranging and corrections with the reticle
The formulas below are those given in the manufacturers' manuals (Leupold, Vortex, Vector Optics). With an SFP reticle they must be applied at the calibration magnification.
Operation
MRAD reticle
MOA reticle
Range estimation
range (m) = size (cm) ÷ mil × 10
range (yd) = size (inches) × 95.5 ÷ MOA
Example
50 cm silhouette measuring 1 mil → 500 m
16" target measuring 4 MOA → 382 yd (≈349 m)
From drop to correction
mil = drop (cm) ÷ (range in m ÷ 100) ÷ 10
MOA = drop (cm) ÷ (range in m ÷ 100) ÷ 2.9
Measure with the rifle steady, rested or on a bipod, and read the target to a tenth of a unit.
Compensate for drop by aiming with the corresponding hash mark, or by dialing the correction on the turrets, which is the most precise method.
Correct for wind on the horizontal scale, always into the wind.
Set the parallax (side focus or AO) to the target distance: this avoids reading errors when your eye is not perfectly centered.
Important: the BDC tables and the values in this guide come from the manufacturers' official documentation and refer to the ammunition and zeros stated. Every rifle and every ammunition lot behaves differently: always verify your references at the range before using them.
Leupold reticles
Leupold publishes a dimensioned spec sheet for each reticle. For SFP reticles the dimensions apply at maximum magnification, for FFP reticles at any magnification.
Leupold Duplex and Fine Duplex

Unit MOA
Focal plane SFP
Illumination no
The Duplex, introduced by Leupold in 1962, is the hunting reticle par excellence: four thick posts that guide the eye toward a center of fine wires. The posts remain visible even in low light, while the fine wires cover little of the target. The Fine Duplex has thinner posts and wires and is designed for precision shots and small targets.
How to use it: it is a pure aiming reticle, with no holdover references. Zero it at your usual hunting distance and aim at the center. With CDS turrets, the elevation correction is dialed rather than estimated.

Illumination FireDot center dot, multiple levels; Motion Sensor Technology on recent models
Three illuminated variants for hunting. The FireDot Duplex adds a red center dot to the Duplex that brings the eye straight to the aiming point. The FireDot 4 Fine has a European-style design ("German 4"): pronounced side and bottom posts, upper half clear. The FireDot Twilight Hunter is designed for twilight conditions, with fine wires that cover little of the target and a minimal aiming point.
How to use it: set the illumination to the lowest level that makes the dot visible: too much light enlarges the dot and covers the target. With Motion Sensor Technology the illumination turns off when the rifle is still and turns back on when it is moved. If the reticle flashes, the battery (CR2032) is low.

An evolution of the Duplex: thick, tapered posts with an open center and fine wires, giving precision at long range or on small targets. The top post tapers off and leaves the view above the target clear.
How to use it: like a Duplex. The posts help you find the center in low light.
Focal plane SFP – values correct at maximum magnification
Illumination no
A Duplex with a windage scale on the horizontal wire: hash marks every 1 MOA, up to 10 MOA per side. It is not tied to a caliber.
How to use it: Leupold pairs it with the CDS turret. Elevation is dialed on the turret, wind is compensated by holding the target on the corresponding hash mark, into the wind. The values are exact only at maximum magnification.
Ballistic hunting reticle (Ballistic Aiming System). Below the center there are aiming points for 300, 400, 450 and 500 yd; the longer horizontal hash marks give the correction for a 10 mph (≈16 km/h) crosswind. It is not tied to a specific caliber: the magnification ring adapts the spacing to many calibers.
How to use it (Leupold manual): zero the center at 200 yd for cartridge groups A and B, or at 300 yd for group C. Then set the magnification ring to the large triangle (groups A and C) or the small one (group B). For group C, add 100 yd to each hash mark. The list of cartridges by group is in the manual.

Illumination TMOA: no · Illum. TMOA (VX-6HD): red
The TMOA is the MOA version of the TMR. Hash marks every 1 MOA extend to 10 MOA in each direction and are used both for bullet drop and for wind. The Tri-MOA of the VX-Freedom series is derived from it: hash marks every 1 MOA, 10 MOA per side, a wider 5 MOA hash mark as a quick reference and a clear upper half. Neither is tied to a caliber.
How to use it: set the optic to maximum magnification and use the scale to estimate range with the MOA formula, to hold over, or to measure the error and dial it on the turrets (see Ranging).
Leupold Impact-29 MOA, Impact-14 MOA and Impact-32 MOA

Unit MOA
Focal plane SFP – values correct at maximum magnification
Illumination no
Grid reticles for long-range shooting in MOA. Hash marks every 1 MOA sit on the horizontal and vertical wires, every fourth hash mark is numbered and the wind dots are spaced 2 MOA apart. The number in the name indicates how far down the vertical scale goes: 29 MOA, 14 MOA (on the VX-5HD 7-35x56) or 32 MOA (on the VX-3i LRP).
How to use it: at maximum magnification, aim with the hash mark that corresponds to the calculated drop in MOA, and correct for wind with the side dots. Leupold no longer publishes a dedicated spec sheet for the Impact-32.

Illumination FireDot TMR and TMR Illum. versions
The TMR (Tactical Milling Reticle) is an evolution of the Mil-Dot: instead of dots it has hash marks, which allow more precise measurements. Leupold specifies hash marks every 0.5 mil that become 0.2 mil on the outer edges, with references for wind and drop. It is not tied to a caliber. On the VX-Freedom AR 6-18x40 the hash marks are every 0.5 mil, the turrets have 0.1 mil clicks and the values are exact at 18x.
How to use it (Leupold manual):
Range (m) = target size (m) × 1000 ÷ mils measured. The same formula works in yards.
Holdover (mil) = drop (cm) ÷ range (in hundreds of meters) ÷ 10. Example: 50 cm at 500 m = 1 mil.
Leupold points out that dialing the correction on the turrets is more precise than holding over.
Focal plane FFP on Mark 4 ER/T and LR/T M5; SFP on Mark 3HD 3-9x40 P5 (values exact at 9x)
Illumination no
It is the classic military reticle: 0.2 mil dots spaced 1 mil apart center to center. On the Mark 3HD 3-9x40 P5 the turrets have 0.1 mil clicks, so reticle and turrets speak the same unit.
How to use it: place the center of the reticle on one edge of the target and count the mils to the opposite edge, then apply the mil formula. Example from the Leupold manual: an 18" (≈46 cm) target that measures 2 mil is at 250 yd (≈229 m). Wind and lead are handled as with any mil reticle.
Unit PR1-MOA and PR2-MOA in MOA; PR1-MIL, PR2-MIL and PR3-MIL in MIL
Focal plane FFP – values correct at every magnification
Illumination depending on the model (Illum. versions)
These are the precision reticles of the Mark 4HD and Mark 5HD, developed with input from top-level shooters.
PR1-MOA: grid with hash marks every 1 MOA and 40 MOA of scale in each direction.
PR2: Christmas-tree below the center with wind dots, suited to long range and PRS.
PR3-MIL: same values as the PR2 but without the grid, for a cleaner picture and faster engagement.
How to use it: being FFP, ranging and holdovers are valid at any magnification. Measure the range, read the drop in MOA or MIL from the ballistic table and aim at the corresponding point on the grid, with the wind correction on the rows of dots.

Grid reticles designed by Horus Vision. They have dots at the intersections for drop and wind and numbered lines, while the upper half remains clear to observe the impact. In the Tremor 3 the chevron markers measure 0.1 mil and above the horizontal line there are references for rapid ranging. The H59 has 0.1 mil stepped lines above the horizontal post and a wider grid than the H58.
How to use it: aim directly at the grid intersection that corresponds to drop (row) and wind (column), without dialing the turrets. It is the method used by shooters who rapidly engage targets at different distances.

Illumination depends on the optic: no on Venom, yes on Razor HD Gen II/III and Viper PST Gen II
These are the most popular precision reticles in the Vortex range: Venom, Viper PST Gen II, Strike Eagle FFP and Razor HD. In the MRAD version the hash marks are every 0.2 mil near the center and every 0.1 mil toward the outside. Below the center there is a Christmas-tree numbered from 1 to 10 mil, with wind dots. In the MOA version the center dot measures 0.14 MOA and the hash marks are every 1 MOA. The EBR-7D (Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56) is the evolution with an even finer center dot and a scale numbered every 2 mil.
How to use it (Vortex manual):
Range (m) = target size (cm) ÷ MRAD measured × 10. Measure with the rifle rested, to a tenth of a mil.
Drop: aim with the dot on the tree corresponding to the MRAD of drop (e.g. 6.7 MRAD at 800 yd in the Vortex example), or dial the value on the turrets.
Wind: with the elevation dialed, use the horizontal scale, always into the wind (Vortex example: 2.6 MRAD for a full-value 15 mph wind).

A good reticle performs at its best only with correct mounting: ring height, eye relief, leveling of the reticle, tightening to specification and zeroing at the right distance for the chosen reticle. In our workshop we handle the installation and calibration of riflescopes and red dots and the setup of rifles for long-range shooting.
