So I’m hoping to hear from some short range shooters. I have a March 48X High Master on my LV rifle. It has the 1/16” dot. The scope has a 2.7’(32.4”) FOV at 100 yards so I should have 16.2” below the horizontal cross hair at 100 yards.
The LR 1/16” dot reticle has the cross hair placed in the top third of the FOV so it should have 21.6” below the horizontal cross hair. That’s an additional 5.4” of FOV with the LR reticle. I understand the idea behind this reticle is to hopefully be able to see more wind flags in the FOV.
I’m curious, does that 5.4” actually make much of a difference? It seems minuscule but I suppose it could help, if flags were set perfectly. If you have shot the LR reticle, please chime in.
Thanks,
Dave.
