Leupold Varmint Hunter’s Reticle
Available exclusively in VX-III and VX-L riflescope models, this
reticle system will help you hit small targets at longer
ranges than ever, by helping you determine the range to the target,
then providing precise aiming points for easy-to-remember range
increments, as well as wind deflection. Aiming points are fine
lines, which won’t obscure small targets at long range. For details, click here.

Wide Duplex®
Leupold designed the Wide Duplex reticle with a larger center
gate for lightning fast target acquisition, even on a moving target.
|
|

|
Wide Duplex® RE
Place game of approximately 16" in height in the
ranging bracket on the lower picket, and turn the power selector
until it fits into this space, then read
the numbers on the rear of the power selector ring to get an estimate
of the range (“3” for 300 yards, etc).
|
|

|
Leupold Dot
A Leupold exclusive, this reticle
still has a prominent dot like the so-called “floating dot.” But
the thinning portion of the crosshair makes locating the dot much
easier.
|
|

|
Fine Duplex®
Thinner posts and crosshairs allow for less target coverage, making
precision shots on small targets easy.
|
|

|

|
Duplex
Heavy posts stand out against cover and in twilight conditions,
pointing boldly to the intersection. Centering
is a snap. The thin crosshairs obscure little.
VX-III models use the Duplex reticle
for range estimating as well. If you bracket a deer, you can read
the range on the power selector ring.
|
|

|
Heavy Duplex
With its heavy posts, the Heavy Duplex reticle
is especially useful in low-light conditions.

New! Turkey
Plex
The ultimate turkey hunter’s reticle,
it not
only helps you zero in on your target area, it also helps estimate
range. At maximum magnification, the Turkey Plex
subtends a turkey’s head (crown to wattles) at 40 yards. 1-4x20mm (shown left) and
2-7x33mm (shown right).
|
|

|
CPC
The CPC reticle is a steady taper down
to a fine intersection. This gives a faster reference than a conventional
crosshair by leading your eye to the center.
|
|

|
Post &
Duplex
Offering the benefits of both the Duplex and the German #4, the
Post & Duplex is the favorite of
many hunters.
|
|

|
Target Dot
This is a conventional shooter’s dot, which seems to “float.”
The crosshairs are extremely thin.
|
|

|
Crosshair
The conventional crosshair is still a popular choice because of
its simplicity and versatility.
|
|

|

|

|
German #1,
#4, and Illuminated #4 Dot
These typical European-style reticles
are bold and easy to see, especially against tangled backgrounds
and shadows.
|
|

|

|

|
Illuminated
Circle Dot
Designed for fast target acquisition in any environment, the Illuminated
Circle Dot reticle can also be used
to estimate range. Available in the VX-III 1.5-5x20mm Illuminated
reticle model and Leupold
Mark 4 CQ/T scopes.

|
Tactical Milling
Reticle (TMR)
The Tactical Milling Reticle (TMR) expands
on existing Mil Dot reticles by using
various sized and spaced tic marks on the vertical and horizontal
stadia for increased ranging precision,
accuracy, and quick 1-meter range estimating reference points.
All Mil Dot calculations are TMR compatible. For additional information,
click here.

|

|
Special Purpose
Reticle
With the Special Purpose Reticle, you
can engage targets with greater precision at longer ranges than
generally possible with other reticle
styles, yet also use it for instinctive, close-range/low-magnification
engagements. For details, click here.

|
Mil Dot
Many Leupold riflescopes are available
with the Mil Dot reticle, which was
designed to help the U.S. Marine Corps estimate distances. It’s now standard
for all military branches.
|
Range Estimating With The Mil Dot Reticle
With practice, it’s a simple system to use. Dots are spaced in one mil
(milliradian) increments on the crosshair. Using the mil
formula, a table can be created that is based on the size of the object
being targeted. Just look through the scope, bracket the object between
dots, and refer to the table for an estimated distance to target. Leupold
scopes fitted with the Mil Dot reticle include
more specific instruction on its use. Download Mil Dot Instruction Manual
