[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2054165, member: 8873"] You can use pretty much anything in a reticle as an aim point that has a distinct marking. When I first started shooting longer ranges, before I joined the military and learned about mildots and such, I used the thicker part of a duplex reticle for aim points at different ranges. At different power settings the distance from center cross to the lower thicker part of the reticle grows and shrinks relative to the target (SFP scopes), and can represent different amounts of drop. I was very proficient out to 600 yards with that old rifle and just a “regular” hunting scope. Then moved on to SFP scopes with moa turrets and mildot reticle. We still have to train with one scope issued as such, another SFP with moa turrets and TMR reticle, then one FFP with mil turrets and Horus reticle. After decades the Army is just now getting around to adopting one system, a FFP mil/mil. My point is, I don’t give a crap what you use just know how to use it. [/QUOTE]
