3 ELEV A TION AND WIND AGE TURRETS The turrets of the Bushnell ® Elite ® T actical Riflescope provide audible and visual references. Each turn of the turret provides an audible “click” which coincides with a movement of the visible reference point on the turret knob. Additionally , clicks can be felt by your fingers as the turret knob moves[...]

4 F AST FOCUS EYEPIECE The fast-focus eyepiece dial is found on the ocular end of the Bushnell Elite T actical Riflescope. Use this adjustment to obtain a reticle image that appears sharp to your eyes. If adjustment is needed, look at a distant object for several seconds without using your scope. Then, shift your vision quickly , looking through t[...]

5 FIRST FOCAL PLANE RETICLE The Bushnell Elite T actical Riflescopes covered by this manual have their reticles located in the first focal plane. Therefore, the reticle will increase in size when the magnification is increased. This feature allows the continued use of the mil measurement system contained in the reticle, regardless of the power s[...]

6 In the example to the left using the H59 reticle, the shooter was attempting to hit a target in the center of the crosshairs. The actual point of impact hit 4 Mils down and 3 Mils left indicated by the red dot. Adjust the elevation dial 4 Mils up/windage dial 3 Mils right. Another way to look at this is to determine what adjustment needs to be do[...]

7 BUSHNELL MIL DOT RETICLE The Bushnell Mil Dot Reticle provides a total of ten Mils on both the vertical and horizontal crosshairs. One Mil is measured from the middle of one dot to the middle of the next dot. The last Mil on the outer edges portion of the horizontal and vertical crosshair is measured from the center of the fourth Mil Dot from cen[...]

8 The Mil Dot Reticle Measurement System in the F irst Focal Plane Applies at any Ma gnification Level. 2 Mils at 12x (100 yards) 2 Mils at 3.5x (100 yards)[...]

9 USING THE MIL DOT RETICLE FOR RANGING The Equations: Size of target in yards X 1000 = Range in Y ards Size of T arget in Mils Size of target in inches X 27.778 = Range in Y ards Size of target in Mils Size of target in inches X 25.4 = Range in Meters Size of target in Mils Example 1: Looking through the riflescope, I located a preset target tha [...]

Known size of target: 12”x 12” Mil Reading: .75 Mil 12 X 27.778 .75 Mil CONVERTING TRAJECTOR Y DA T A TO MIL HOLDOVERS T o calculate holdovers you must first obtain your round’ s trajectory data. Look at the ammu[...]

12 USING THE MIL DOT RETICLE FOR HOLDOVER Once you know how to range your target with the Mil Dot reticle, and using the previous example, you can use the reticle instead of the turrets to make adjustments with holdover . For example, your range tells you that the 12” target is 300 yards away , (12”*27.778) / (1.1Mil). Based on the Federal .308[...]

13 BUSHNELL G2DMR ™ RETICLE The G2DMR reticle, developed in conjunction with G.A. Precision , provides a c lean reticle space while giving you the ability to range targets with extreme accuracy using .1 Mil reference points. The extended horizontal mil markings on the lower portion of the vertical crosshair can be used for both ranging and windag[...]

14 THE HORIZONT AL CROSSHAIR On the horizontal crosshair , numerically designated Mil markings extend from the center of the crosshairs outward to the right in 2 Mil increments. T o keep the retic le plane clean, the numbers were removed on the left side of the reticle but the reference points coincide with the markings from the right side of the c[...]

15 Extending past the 8 Mil mark, the numerals stop. 1 Mil increments are then designated by the longer hash marks which measure 1.5 Mil in height from top to bottom. T en .1 Mil markings are visible between each 1 Mil marking, continuing out to 13 Mils from center . The height from top to bottom of the .1 Mil markings is 1 Mil. The .1 Mil markings[...]

16 THE VERTIC AL CROSSHAIR Similar to the horizontal crosshair , the vertical crosshair places the numerically designated Mil markings on only one side. Once again, the numerically designated markings are found in 2 Mil increments with hash marks every .5 Mil. Note the vertical cross hair extends to provide numerically designated markings up to 10 [...]

17 HORUS VISION H59 RETICLE The H59 reticle is a “field-tuned” version of the H58 retic le from Horus Vision. The horizontal grid is widened by one mil for increased wind holdover . Additionally , the center cross has been turned into a “broken cross” so groupings are less obscured and more easily seen. The H59 reticle is free of the c lut[...]

18 This process works well for many cartridges and weapon systems,but not all will impact exactly the same. However this system should place you close enough to make a solid hit, all else being equal. If shooting with a different caliber or muzzle velocity , you may need to add to or subtract from the original elevation hold to adapt the formula fo[...]

19 HORUS VISION TRMR2 RETICLE The TRMR2 is a refined-mil reticle. Precision mil-marking c lusters interspersed throughout the reticle enable fast accurate measurements at .1, .2, .5 and 1 mil increments. With the 12” ranging brackets located on the lower portion of the vertical stadia, there is no need to make an additional adjustment once the c[...]

20 This process works well for many cartridges and weapon systems, but not all will impact exactly the same. However , this system should place you close enough to make a solid hit, all else being equal. If shooting with a different caliber or muzzle velocity (BC’ s), you may need to add to or subtract from the original elevation hold to adapt th[...]

21 CALCULA TING HOLDS FOR MOVING T ARGETS The TRMR2 reticle has 14 wind dots left to right. 7 wind dots to the left and 7 wind dots to the right of center . Each dot accounts for 3,4, or 5 mph of wind depending on the Ballistic Coefficient you are using. Ballistic Coefficient Wind Dot Value .3 5 mph .4 4 mph .5 3mph For example, if you were holdi[...]

22 RETICLE FROM 10TH MIL TO 38TH MIL DOWN ON VERTIC AL ST ADIA The standard Horus grid is found from the 10th Mil down on the vertical stadia to a total of 38 Mils. The Horus grid evolves reticles beyond outdated crosshairs and mil dots. The patented grid eliminates the need to adjust windage or elevation knobs. As a result you find your target fa[...]
