Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Leupold LR Duplex Reticle

I don't like the LR because of the dots. Long ago I read that a dot draws the eye away from a line. For multiple marks, I prefer the Burris reticle.
Still, on BG out to 440 I prefer the wide duplex. Any longer and I sneak closer. I call it stalking/hunting. After all, It is just a game for fun.

Dude, I have about 6 hunting rifles that are all set up the 'same'.

Zero at 200 yards, next dot/line is 300, next is 400, 500....

Beyond simple and basically intuitive.

270's shooting 140's at 3000fps match fine with most training wheel holdover points. 243's and 300 WSM's do as well.



I can't remember chit and don't practice enough to be going to charts/turrets for hunting.





Aim and shoot out to 400-500 yards is all I need or want.



Not a long range target shooter and I think that's what confuses the snipers.


Just going out deer hunting, not shooting fuuckin' hummingbirds at 982 yards in a 31 mile per hour crosswind.

SamO, I couldn't agree more. I set up a McWhorter 7-08 with a Leupy B&C (first for me) and zero'ed the reticle at 215 (2" high at 100), next hash is 300, next is 400, then 450, and top of thick post is 500. Works like a freaking champ. It's got a CDS dial on it as well, but I haven't touched it since I changed the reticle to the B&C.

That being said, I am enjoying plinking around with a 243/SS3-9x42 MQ setup.

Raider, a certain hormonal elf all hopped up on salmon(and nervous energy) is about to queef themselves....grin

I'm bettin' you whack the crud outa stuff with that one too.

SAM and RAIDER -
Copy that!

Instinctive for sure, it is in your blood.
Old school, near traditional perhaps but I bet you eat
much venison.

Draftmule, and you know you can just split the middle and call it good!

The OP was talking 500 yards and under.


We are talking mere inches here, being off one or two ain't chit.



For hunting dots or pretty much any other BDC will work just fine.

165gr Sierra Gameking, 2,550fps at SAC.


Zero at 200,

300- 1 mil
400- 2 mil
500- 3 mil

The Leupold LRD is very simple.

30-06
165 gr Spitzer
2900 fps (H4350)

Zero at 200
1st dot 300
2nd dot 400

I've never shot at any animal further than 365 yards.

Maybe I find it easy to understand and I started hunting with a compound bow. It's very similar in concept to an archery pin sight. 1st dot 20 yards, 2nd dot 30 yards, 3rd dot 40 yards, etc.

LRD also gets around having to dial, and issues with repeatability, which scopes are good enough, blah blah blah.

Happy it works for you.
