[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 688944, member: 1133"] If you google redfield rangefinding scope it'll come up to a link on shootersforum.com. There is a thumbnail picture there that describes the system (can't link it here at work). I think it was called Redfield Accu-Range. Truth is though you could apply the lines along the distance scale more accurately than the system they use as a rangefinding tool for many different tgt. sizes. Don't know if your 3-9x has a plex reticle in it but that can also be used as a nice rangefinding tool as well. From other BDC systems the dial on the side must be a BDC dial cald. for a certain ballistic profile (like a 30-06 /150 gr. generic bullet in Std conditions), since it sounds like it goes from 100 (1) to 600 (6). I wouldn't trust the reticle rangefinding systems where you adjust magnification (and consequently stadia to stadia subtension) to even beyond 400ish. The mil-ranging formula adapted for any multi-stadia reticle is much better. [/QUOTE]
