Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Ask John Barsness Questions About "Rifle Scope Reticles"

I LOVE the MilQuad reticle in the SS scopes but on a couple of my rifles that are decently quick the plain old Leupold LR Duplex is a good killing reticle for me. Allows a 3” high zero at a 100 with the 7mm Mashburn and 175 Partitions that makes 0-300 on the main reticle and the dots line up nicely at 400 and 500 with the tip of the post being usable at 600. It’s not perfect but it’s light and easy to center up on deer and elk. Takes a bit more range time to get everything squared up but it’s worth it to me when I don’t want the weight of an SS or NF.
