Please discribe how this new reticle works. What are the two power settings? What are the values of the cross bars? Thanks |

Here's a few images of what the two new reticles might look like in use.

Sorry Chris, but I gotta call you on this. Were these taken from 10 yards and 5 respectively, or were both scopes set at 100x ?

Both were set at 100x.
Actually, these images were made extra exaggerated so you can get a better idea of what the reticle looks like. Probably should have put some sort of disclaimer like. Objects in view are actually smaller than they appear. |

I purchased one of the VX-III's in 4.5-14X40 LR a few months ago
from SWFA. What an excellent scope. I'm not a big advocate
of
Leupold scopes but this one is near perfect. I have it mounted on a 22-250 REM 700 VLS SS and I am tagging crows out to 400 yds, about 60% success rate on headshots alone at 400! Crisp and clear! SPAD |

Damn....that is awesome SPAD. For anyone else interested in here is a Flash animated instruction / tutorial on how the two new bullet drop reticles (Boone & Crockett and Varmint Hunters) work. |
