Fine Duplex
Thinner posts and crosshairs allow for less target coverage, making precision shots on small targets easy.

 |
Target Dot
This is a conventional shooter’s dot, which seems to “float.” The crosshairs are extremely thin. |

Duplex
Leupold invented the Duplex® design more than 35 years ago. Heavy posts stand out against cover and in twilight conditions, pointing boldly to the intersection. Centering is a snap. The thin crosshairs obscure little. |

Mil Dot
Several Leupold riflescopes are available with the Mil Dot reticle, which was designed to help the U.S. Marine Corps estimate distances. It’s now standard for all military branches. See range estimating diagram below |

CQ/T Illuminated Circle Dot
The Circle Dot reticle is designed to offer fast target acquisition in any environment. It can also be used to estimate range. See diagram below. |

Tactical Milling Reticle (TMR)
The Tactical Milling Reticle expands on existing Mil Dot reticles by using various sized and spaced hash marks on the vertical and horizontal stadia for increased ranging precision, accuracy, and quick 1-meter range estimating reference points. All Mil Dot calculations are TMR compatible. To use the system, simply determine the range to the target using the mil system, then, use the corresponding aiming point that is matched to your cartridge to engage the target. |

Special Purpose Reticle (SPR)
With the Special Purpose Reticle, you
can engage targets with greater precision at longer ranges than generally possible with other reticle styles, yet also use it for instinctive, close-range/low-magnification
engagements. It also features several
methods of accurate range estimation, using the height or width of the target as a guide. To use the system, simply determine the range to the target using the mil system, then, use the corresponding aiming point that is matched to your cartridge to engage the target. For targets that are inside 300 yards, simply use the center aiming dot to engage. |
Range Estimating with the Circle Dot Reticle:
Estimating range using the Circle Dot reticle is simple. Place the target inside the circle of the reticle. At 3x the diameter equates to 6 feet in height at 100 yards. At 200 yards, 6 feet is measured from the dot to the edge of the circle.
Range Estimating With The Mil Dot Reticle
With practice, the Mil Dot system is simple to use. Dots are spaced in one mil (milliradian) increments on the crosshair. Using the mil formula, the shooter can create a table based on the known size of the object targeted. Just look through the scope, bracket the object between dots, and refer to the table for an estimated distance to the target. Leupold scopes fitted with the Mil Dot reticle include more specific instructions on its use.
