Aiming Points
Unlike the 1-4x24 we released last year this reticle in the new Second Focal Plane 3-15x42 has the ability, due to its higher magnification, to easily utilize not only the outer vertices of the diamond as aiming points but also the inner vertices, giving you five aiming points instead of three.
These aiming points can be used for a wide variety of calibers. Below are some examples of how this could be utilized with a few different calibers.
Actual point of impact vs. point aim:
M852 7.62 168 Grain @ 2600 FPS
Aiming point 1: 200 yard ZERO
Aiming Point 2: 225 yards (.05 Mils High)
Aiming Point 3: 300 yards (.05 Mils Low)
Aiming Point 4: 350 yards (.05 Mils Low)
Aiming Point 5: 375 yards (.00 Mils Off)
M80 7.62 147 Grain @ 2850 FPS
Aiming point 1: 200 yard ZERO
Aiming Point 2: 225 yards (.05 Mils High)
Aiming Point 3: 300 yards (.05 Mils High)
Aiming Point 4: 375 yards (.05 Mils Low)
Aiming Point 5: 400 yards (.00 Mils Off)
M118LR 7.62 175 Grain @ 2600 FPS
Aiming point 1: 200 yard ZERO
Aiming Point 2: 225 yards (.05 Mils High)
Aiming Point 3: 300 yards (.05 Mils Low)
Aiming Point 4: 350 yards (.05 Mils Low)
Aiming Point 5: 375 yards (.00 Mils Off)
6.5 Grendel 123 Grain @ 2350 FPS
Aiming point 1: 100 yard ZERO
Aiming Point 2: 150 yards (.05 Mils Low)
Aiming Point 3: 200 yards (.05 Mils High)
Aiming Point 4: 250 yards (.05 Mils High)
Aiming Point 5: 300 yards (.20 Mils Low)
6.8 SPC 110 Grain @ 2550 FPS
Aiming Point 1: 100 yard ZERO
Aiming Point 2: 150 yards (.05 Mils Low)
Aiming Point 3: 200 yards (.05 Mils High)
Aiming Point 4: 250 yards (.05 Mils High)
Aiming Point 5: 300 yards (.20 Mils Low)
.204 Ruger 40 Grain @ 3900 FPS
Aiming point 1: 100 yard ZERO
Aiming Point 2: 200 yards (.05 Mils High)
Aiming Point 3: 325 yards (.05 Mils Low)
Aiming Point 4: 425 yards (.05 Mils Low)
Aiming Point 5: 450 yards (.00 Mils Off) Target Ranging References
All of the target ranging references are calibrated for 72" height as well as 18" width.
To use it for 36" tall targets simply divide your range shown on the reticle by 2 and for 24" tall targets divide by 3. Examples are listed below.
The target below is a 72" tall silhouette of a human. Considering it is 72" tall and fits just between our horizontal crosshair and the 800 yard target ranging indicator this target is 800 yards away.
The target below is a 72" tall silhouette of a human. Considering it is 72" tall and fits just between our horizontal crosshair and the 200 yard target ranging indicator this target is 200 yards away. The target below is a 18" wide silhouette of a human. Considering it is 18" wide and fits just on top of our 300 yard target ranging indicator this target is 300 yards away. The target below is a 36" shoulder height silhouette of a deer. Considering it is 36" tall and fits just between our horizontal crosshair and the 400 yard target ranging indicator this target is 200 yards away. It is 200 yards away and not 400 yards because we are using a target that is half the height of what the target ranging references are calibrated for, so we have to divide the given range by 2.

Considering it is 36" tall and fits just between our horizontal crosshair and the 800 yard target ranging indicator this target is 400 yards away. It is 400 yards away and not 800 yards because we are using a target that is half the height of what the target ranging references are calibrated for, so we have to divide the given range by 2.
The target below is a 24" shoulder height silhouette of a hog. Considering it is 24" tall and fits just between our horizontal crosshair and the 300 yard target ranging indicator this target is 100 yards away. It is 100 yards away and not 300 yards because we are using a target that is one third the height of what the target ranging reference is calibrated for, so we have to divide the given range by 3.

This is a nice addition to the line.
The reticle developments are interesting and, I think, worthwhile. The SFP 3-15x42 is a nice alternative for people who want a very fine aiming point. I also have a suspicion that it will make a killing for airgun and rimfire shooters due to the the small aiming point and exceptional close focusing capability. I expect to have first impressions up some time next week. ILya

Good start.
When you put a mil reticle similar to the new 10x MOA on the 5-20 HD I might buy out your entire stock. |

ok
Now put a nice lighted reticle on either the 6x42 and or the 10x42 milquad and make a better scope for hunters. The only gripes I see about the milquads for hunting purposes are that it is easy to lose the reticle in the woods and very dark conditions. A lighted reticle incorporated into the milquad reticle would solve that problem and pretty well turn these scopes into great scipes for deer hunting ! Real good as is but just saying !! |

I am in the market for a scope for my RPR 6.5 creedmore.
I believe the SWFA SS 10x42 MOA might just do the trick. During the intro sale, do you get to pick the size of the rings? I am not absolutely sure, but I believe I would need your high rings. Thanks for clarifying. Brandon

I've been looking at that 3x15 for quite awhile, and now I can get the Mil Quad DM reticle. Come on Black Friday! Thanks Chris!

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

I would much rather stick with a fixed power scope for durability Just for kicks I looked at the scope you mentioned and I dont like the reticle at all. I would much rather have the milquad with something like a small Illuminated dot . And at almost $1,000 I cant afford it even if I did like it for my purposes(and i dont). For MY purposes the Milquad reticle is VERY good but would be great with the addition of the option of a the Illuminated reticle. Fixed for the best durability,Milquad reticle for either using the many reference points on the windshield or dialing . All at a price point of the standard Milquad or slightly more. As a hunter I would buy at least one and probably two. And I Imagine a lot of other hunters would as well. Thanks for your input though |

Sorry for the delay, folks, over the next few days I'll have some reticle pics up. They look very good.
They did! It's called the 5-20. Brilliant glass too. Gotta pay to play.... Seriously, "the milquads" are all different depending upon power. The only fixed power I'd recommend walking in the woods with is the 6X and its reticle is very heavy, thick and easy to see. There's no problem in the woods with this reticle--hunting deer in legal light. Hogs or something at nighttime then, sure, you'd want illumination. Naturally the 10X reticles aren't optimum for that use as few would choose a fixed 10X for that application. But for general hunting in open terrain, they're fine. Basically for any use you'd choose a fixed 10X, the reticle will work very well. |

Thanks for the info on the 5-20,but I am looking for the ruggedness of a fixed power AND when I decide to sell my house and live in the truck I might consider paying that much for a scope ! I often keep a Variable Leupold 3-9 on 9 power in the woods as it allows me to tell if I have a TRULY clear shot at the vitals or if there are small limbs or brush that would deflect a bullet. Plus once a deer is sighted I dont want to be lowering the rifle and picking up binoculars and seeing if the deer has a vital zone exposed without brush in the way . Also we have a 3 point rule in the area I hunt so I need to be able to judge horns. Maybe 6x would be enough . We can Legally shoot 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after sunset. |
