1 N0W WITH 250 RETICLE PATTERNS! HANDBOOK OF Standard Reticle Patterns BY MANUFACTURER, VERSION 10 D. Andrew Kopas For educational purposes, not for commercial sale or use.

2 Handbook of Standard Reticle Patterns by Manufacturer Compiled by D. Andrew Kopas Updated March, 2017 Version 10 Rev.1 Intended for Educational Purposes Only Not for Commercial Sale or Use 1

3 This Handbook is Dedicated to General Thera Lermu, late of the KNU/KNLA Peace Council Forces Army who was Killed in Action while protecting the Karen people of Burma (aka Myanmar) in January It was my pleasure and honor to serve with him. Col. D. Andrew Kopas 2

4 The purpose of this handbook is to aid military, law enforcement, and civilian precision shooters in the selection of the proper reticle pattern for their respective mission. Given the wide variety of different reticle patterns used by the various scope manufacturers represented herein, including most of them in a single document can help to simplify the selection process. The reader should verify the current status of the reticle with the manufacturer since some patterns may no longer be in production. In addition, some patterns may repeat in this document given their use by more than one rifle scope manufacturer. Reticle patterns added in Version 10 are shown in the beginning of this catalogue. Special thanks to all of the rifle scope and reticle manufacturers listed at the end of this handbook for the reticle pattern schematics and subtension diagrams 3 illustrated in this compilation.

65 NightForce Reticle Patterns NP-RF1 Field Tactical Long Range 2 MOA elevation and windage spacing are ideal for precision long-range shooting and all-around use. 10, 20 and 30 MOA elevation points are clearly marked for quick reference in the field. Especially suitable for range finding. 64

66 NightForce Reticle Patterns MD 2.0 Field Tactical 1 mil spacing between dots. See-through design does not obscure small targets at long ranges. Four posts allow centering the target quickly, especially in poor light. 65

67 NightForce Reticle Patterns MLR2.0 Field Tactical Long Range The.5 and 1 mil divisions allow for multiple zeroes, holdover, holdunder and windage adjustments without touching elevation or windage knobs. Elevation points are numerically identified in 2, 4, 6 and 8 mil increments, 66 windage points in 2 and 4 mil increments.

68 NightForce Reticle Patterns General Velocity 1000 Precise shot placement to 1000 yards with accurate holdovers. Available in LV.5, MV.5, HV, HV.5, HVM, HVM.5, UHV and UHV.5 configurations. 67

69 NightForce Reticle Patterns LV.5 General Long Range Precise shot placement to 1000 yards with accurate holdovers when the distance to target is known. Extremely quick, requiring no calculation or adjustments. 68 Designed for specific calibers and ballistic profiles.

70 NightForce Reticle Patterns MOAR With 1 MOA elevation and windage markings, more accurate range finding and hold-offs are possible on smaller targets at longer ranges. Combined with a floating center crosshair, this makes for a reticle extremely fast 69 and easy to use in the field
