with the Mil Dot system. The Mil Dot system should be used for what it was designed for which is range finding.

put forward facts and not opinions. Modern advanced reticules have fractions of mils clearly marked. Horusvision, VortexOptics and others make perfectly good fractional mil-dots reticules mounted where they should be: on the first focal plane. A good shooter will find out, first by ballistical calculation, and then test-firing, the DISTANCES at which the marks in his scope cross the trajectory. It is easy to interpolate from the KNOWN distances (either rangefinding with the mils or with a separate piece of equipment) to the KNOWN holdover points. Accuracies of better than 1/4 MOA can be achieved this way. Finer than the usual scope's clicks that always have some backlash and are not absolutely repeatable. Just as most technologies, the Mil has advanced and the dot is not the only, or the best, way to go.
Hector J Medina Gomez slashsplat | January 17, 2012 at 18:03 | Reply Disappointing article. There is enough room for a TOTAL explanation of AT LEAST their products. The statement that only one magnification is valid for mils is wrong when you buy the Leupold FIRST FOCAL PLANE scopes (FFP). How can they leave that out? Also, on a SFP scope, what ARE the actual magnifications to use the mils? So far as the inadequacy for holdover, what makes the dots any less usable than the static BDC lines that are NEVER accurate for the load you are shooting? SHEESH! Ray | March 1, 2012 at 05:59 | Reply Agree. Specially the statement about having only one magnification being valid for mils. Leupold engineers should update the article and be more specific and careful with their hastily written "notes". On a SFP scope, one must use the highest magnification on the scope. Unless the "engineers" of your specific scope made that proprietary on their product. Don Dial | June 23, 2012 at 04:53 | Reply I also have several Leupold Scopes and have over the yrs. and have installed quite a few on customers and friends weapons. I have a TRG 308 w/a 8.5X25 w/a Range Finding recticle..and it appears to me that simply the only way to be satisfied w/the ranging portion of the product is to use it and become familiar with it rather than try to read tech. jargon as to how to use it correctly..I've only been shooting a little over 60yrs so have become somewhat dense in my youth..Don
