CENTIMETER VERSION, P3 RETICLE

Built at the request of the U.S. military to provide a long-range capable scope with a smaller objective diameter. Includes illuminated reticle and parallax adjustment, each controlled by a separate turret.

Our color-coded window indicators which graphically illustrate the reticle's position within the overall adjustment travel. This prevents the shooter from becoming "lost" within the adjustment range. Complete illuminated reticle control is standard.


P-3 Mil-dot reticle
The P-3 Mil-dot Reticle was developed by the U.S. Marine Corps in the late 1970s as an aid for the Marine sniper in estimating distances. It has since become the military standard for range estimating within all branches of the service.

The name “mil-dot” comes from the term “millradian,” and the dot that is spaced in 1 mil increments on the crosshairs. By using the mil formula, a table can be generated based upon the size of the object being range-estimated. This table is included with the scope. The object viewed is bracketed between the dots, and by consulting the table the distance can be estimated.
