Please tell me this will be available in something with greater than 4X magnification..... Great design BTW. Put it into something like a 2-8X or 2.5-10X variable and it would be a perfect DMR optic. I'm looking for glass to put on an SPR, this looks interesting.

Oh! They did their homework on this one I see! So you can range a "target" if it's facing you or not. I like that. Now, one more question. What round is the BDC set for? I usually shoot a 55gr. Will it line up right?

Being able to range the target in different angles is key! Not to mention wind, knowing the wind is just as crucial
It's never always going to be a calm day and your target will be in all angles.

Yes it's set for both M193 and M855 we will provide instructions on how to dial in using both ammo and different barrel lengths 14.5-20"

Any chance of getting this reticle shoe-horned into a 2-12X32 tube similar to the Yukon 2-12 FFP?

I just bought the 3x about an hour ago. Will this adapt to a carry handle as well?

May have to upgrade and throw the 3x on a pistol.

The base comes off the 3X and it is perfect for a carry handle. The base is even drilled so you can use your iron sights.

We hope to have it in at least one scope by the end of the year. Too soon for exact details and pricing.

My only concern with a 4-14X version would be that you might end up losing the 800 and possibly 700 yard holdover marks out of the field of view when at max magnification. Also, it may end up being kind of heavy as most 4-14X FFP scopes currently available are well above 20 ounces. IMHO, this reticle design in something lighter and more compact than a full sized FFP scope, but still having more magnification than an ACOG (Max power of 8-10X) would be IDEAL.

We have not decided yet thank you for your suggestions.

I can tell you guys as the designer of the reticle when we tested it performed better then expected at 700 yards I could keep all 5 rounds rapid fire (m193)on a 18"x36" target even in windy conditions. The ranging portion is dead on and we were able to confirm with range finder.

It illuminated red in the pic it just looks off because the camera. I also made sure that it has a super low setting so when in low light there is no glare and high for day

I am familiar with that reticule. Many companies use a similar "style". The specifics of ours is patent pending and does not violate any patent.

Sir:

I haven't looked into the patent claims closely but just because others are using a similar pattern does not mean they are not infringing on those patents or that your pattern, as a whole, is patentable does not mean you have FTO. So I would get a written FTO Opinion from your counsel to make sure.

Just my 2c!

BTW, when are your micro RDSs coming back in stock?

I read the claims and there is no patent violation that I can see. I think we can all agree the PA reticle is in a league of its own

If this is going to work with the Russian 5.45 mount may I suggest a package with the scope and mount for the AK people?
