    Rifle Scopes A Redesigned Minox AQRAS Reticle for Yards

    I think I know what you are referring to. For the sake of offering a traceable proof, I converted the 60cm to 23.6 inches and then followed through to the end, where 240m = 262 yards. It was just a step along the way as I figured this out. Proofs tend to make the conclusion look complex, but...

    Rifle Scopes A Redesigned Minox AQRAS Reticle for Yards

    What's the odd target size? Any target measured in inches works with the yards scale. Follow the derivation. I agree that all that's needed is the fine mrad scale anyway, but if Minox is going to etch the lower left quadrant with their "AQRAS" scale, I've designed an option for yards. There is...

    I'd love to have your comments. Maybe I should change the conversation. Nice glass!

    Rifle Scopes A Redesigned Minox AQRAS Reticle for Yards

    Here is what I have come up with for an AQRAS reticle that works with targets in inches and distances in yards. I began designing another version that had whole sequential numbers for the yardage scale factors, but they quickly get too close together in the upper range. Instead, this design has...

    Rifle Scopes A Redesigned Minox AQRAS Reticle for Yards

    Here is the AQRAS reticle scaled with factors for yards. Target size in inches x scale factor = distance in yards. (New factor = old factor * 2.54 * 1.093) See posts above. But of course, who wants a reticle with decimal factors like those? No one. Next I'll move the lines to be at spacing...

    Rifle Scopes A Redesigned Minox AQRAS Reticle for Yards

    In answer to my own question, the fastest mental math to use AQRAS for inches and yards is this: First the proof: AQRAS: 60cm x 4 scale = 240m range (user guide example) 1. Convert 60cm to inches by dividing by 2.54 cm/in. 2. Multiply the 4 scale factor by 2.54 to compensate for the prior...

    Rifle Scopes A Redesigned Minox AQRAS Reticle for Yards

    (See new design in post #5) What use is the Minox Advanced Quick Ranging Scale (AQRAS) for calculating distance in yards? I can make use of the fine milliradian scale on the lower right of the MR5 reticle, but not the AQRAS scale on the lower left. Their user guide examples are in metric for a...

    Rifle Scopes SHOT Show report Day 2 - Minox ZL5?

    Given the prevalence of MR2 and MR4 that I see for sale, I must be one of the few who likes the MR5 and the duplex-like center. If only they provided a direct-read yardage scale on the left where the metric AQRAS scale is, I'd be ecstatic. In their example of 60cm target x 7.5 scale = 450m...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk5 Lineup Pics

    The government gets the cheapest price. They demand that they buy at no higher than the lowest price the vendor is selling to anyone else (and usually want it lower because 8 points margin is overly generous in their minds). The government thinks they are your best customer. And I would really...

    Rifle Scopes I knew Schmidt and Bender was expensive but holy cranberries!!!

    Yep, I'm good with that. Found those too, but saw another P4 that wasn't like the others and had to ask.

    I can't find an image of the P4 reticle anywhere (not P4F, P4FL, etc.), just P4. Can you post it?

    Rifle Scopes Mile High and S&B

    While Mile High may have the lowest prices on S&B, a quick cruise around the 'net shows other vendors are discounting the PMII heavily too, within a couple hundred dollars of Mile High. It doesn't seem to be a localized phenomenon.

    S.Kay, thanks for answering my questions. The reticle is intriguing and I appreciate knowing something about the thought that went into it.

    Rifle Scopes Kahles SKMR3 Subtensions

    Thanks. I'll accept that the gap is 0.125 mils. The question is why? (or why not 0.1)? Guys on this forum buy, sell, and trade this scope all the time. Tell me the usefulness of a 0.125 gap. Tell me how it's applied. For all the funky numbers it COULD be, why this one? (A message has been sent...

    Interesting. Thanks for taking the measurements. It's an unusual measurement (at least I think so). I'd like to hear from the guys who shoot with this scope on a regular basis. If the gap were 0.1 mils by extending the horizontal line left (and right on the other side), it would be a more...

    I got the image from the Kahles web site. The distance I am looking for is not specified. I want to know what it is.

    Rifle Scopes Kahles SKMR3 Subtensions

    The question is what is the distance between the blue arrows? It's not 0.1 mils and I doubt it's 0.15 mils. I'd like it to be 0.1 mils and think that any other value makes it just a little less convenient to work with...
