Rifle Scopes Own reticle design

[Brazense]

Had a bit of fun and designed my own reticle for the kind of competeing I do, that is
- UKD from 100-650 meters
- Target sizes between 17 cm (width) to 100 cm (height)

The "H2" stands for Right 2 mil, and "V2" Left 2 mil. Used for holding of for the wind.

Mil-scale adapted for the target sizes and the distances they usually are positioned at.

I have a NF NXS today....what are the odds them making one for me?

With typical targets (53x48 cm)

Interesting, I like it, fairly specialized thou. My only fear is stadia lines being too thin when you power down, I am assuming the reticle above is max power on a FFP (?)

As far as going to production, anything that has enough demand and $$ behind it can be produced, but the cost for a "one off" reticle, costly is the word that comes to mind.

Throw some Nazi Zombies running at you through the snow and I'd say you have a SURE FIRE WINNER! LOL just kidding. Good job on the reticle man!

Yup, very specialized indeed. And it probably would be very thin once you power down on the magnification.

If I had the dough it would have been fun to have one made. Unfortunately, I haven't.

Jello: All nazi zombies live in Norway. Plenty of them there but none in Sweden....yet!

I asked Leupold how much to do a specialised reticle for me (Basically a S&B P4L fine ret.) and the quote was $30,000 to set up the machinery, once the machinery is set up, the reticle cost is just for the glass it is etched on, but that $30,000 has to be recovered from the run of scopes. Sell 100,000 scopes with that reticle and you are on to a winner, but I doubt the market is that large......

Now why am I not surprised that Leupy wanted so much?
