Scope Reticals for 1000?

[bbobie]

Looking at buying a scope for some longrange target (gongs)and hunting
There is lots of options out there for different reticules,I have scopes with the dots so I can shot out to 650-
700 yards right now
Just curious what is working for you guys that dail up the yardage
I had a sightron 111 6x24 x50 I liked the reticals on it ,but it didn’t have the zero
stop that’s why I sold it
Thanks

Its reticle and not reticule. I beleive a reticule is some sort of woman's purse

It’s hard to argue with the I-phone auto correct lol

You are both right actually.

Reticle looks to need spelling correcting as does reticule.

I before E also.

Rapid Z 1,000 in regards to your question.

Kind of confused here, Are you looking to dial elevations or use the reticle?

If you choose a scope that has a Mil or MOA reticle, you just input your ballistic data into a program (like JBM) and it spits out what your drops are at each yardage. Then you hold that spot on the reticle.

Ya sure dail point and shoot so do you like a dot? Fine plex? Post and dot ?
As I can see I named 3 types of cross hairs if that’s the right terminology
If not I’m sure I ll get corrected

Didn’t know it was a spelling bee contest

The SIII 6-24 now come with zero stop.

There are also a range of very useable Xmas tree reticles from Athlon and Delta... all have zero stop options and are FFP or SFP.

Ultimately, you decide if you prefer a dot or small + when aiming on target. I don't want it too thick or it can obscure my view of the target at long range.

Lots of great options that dont need to cost a fortune to get the job done well.

PM or email if I can help.

Really liking the MR4 reticle in my Minox ZP5. Can get out to 1120m (13 MILs) off the reticle alone with my 6.5. But personally i would be dialing

 

[bbobie]

wow that's aways out there with out dialing up

You can dial any scope and shoot. How big is the gong you are planning to shoot? Some reticles are thick and cross lines, for example, may cover a small target at a long distance. Thus, SKMR 3 or H59 with floating dots may become very handy. Using drop marks of the reticle is also tricky as weather conditions/bullet weight/altitude/etc. will affect it. SFP and FFF are also different. Drop marks on SFP scope are not constant when on FFF they are. There are some questions you need to ask yourself first:
1. Budget
2. SFP or FFF
3. Shooting cartridge, distance, targets
4. Personal reticle preference
5. Preferable system - MOA or MIL/MRAD
6. Additional features: illumination, zero stop, parallax, etc.

These answers will help you to limit your selection.
