BARSKA 6X42 Rangefinder Riflescope
Product Information
The product being described is a Rangefinder Reticle, designed to assist shooters in determining the distance between themselves and their target. The reticle contains either two or more horizontal lines placed at given distances away from each other, or a horizontal line of a certain thickness. By aligning the reticle lines with an object of known size, such as a game animal, the shooter can estimate the distance to the target and make necessary adjustments to their aim.
Product Usage Instructions
- Determining Range using Range Formula:
- Know the magnification of your scope when looking at the target.
- Determine the actual target size.
- Use the formula: Power x A (inches) x 2.5 = Range (yards) to calculate the distance to the target.
- Determining Range using Minute of Angle (MOA):
- Use the vertical line of the reticle divided into 2 MOA increments for range estimation, multiple zero points, and bullet drop compensation.
- Refer to the provided range estimate table to easily determine target range based on target size in MOA.
- Select an appropriate hold point based on the bullet drop of your cartridge.
HOW TO USE THE RANGEFINDER RETICLE
A Rangefinder Reticle contains either two or more horizontal lines placed at
given distances away from each other or a horizontal line that is a certain
thickness.
The distance between the lines, or the line thickness, when placed against an
object of known size, such as a game animal, will closely approximate the
distance from the shooter to the target. The shooter then uses the lines to
properly adjust the point of aim so as to align the point of aim with the
intended point of impact.
DETERMINING RANGE USING RANGE FORMULA
- First, it is necessary to know the magnification of your scope at the moment you look at the target. As an example, an 8-32×50 scope can have magnifications from 8x to 32x. At a setting of 8x, you have Power = 8.
- In addition, you need to know the actual target size. For example, a deer that is 4 feet tall fits into 4 increments of “A” in the reticle (See Fig. 1). That means each increment of “A” is 1 foot long at the target. So, you have A=12″ (it must be in inches).
- Here is the formula to use to calculate Range:
Power x A (inches) x 2.5 = Range (yards) So, in the example, 8 x12 x 2.5 = 240 yards.
Therefore your target is 240 yards away
DETERMINING RANGE USING MINUTE OF ANGLE (MOA)
-
The vertical line of the reticle is divided into 2 MOA increments (approx. 2″ @ 100yds). These vertical increments are used for range estimation, multiple zero points and accurate bullet drop compensation.
-
Any size target can be easily ranged using a simple formula:
Target Size In Inches MOA x 100 = Range In Yards -
For example, the target is 18″ high and the target’s height measures 6 MOA. The range to the target is 300 yards (18″ 6 MOA x 100 = 300 yards).
-
Once the range is determined select an appropriate hold point based on the bullet drop of your cartridge. The vertical spacings can easily be split into 1 MOA increments further enhancing long range accuracy.
