[QUOTE="Chandalar, post: 1007553, member: 28074"] I prefer a Hours Reticle, that said you can take a ballistics reticled scope to your range, laser range find 100 yards, set a yard stick in a bucket of sand with a level, go back to the bench turn the power to the highest setting and "lay off" the lines that are in the scope, a MOA is 1.074" so it pretty close. Looking through the scope, where ever there is a sub-tension line, right the inch(and decimal) number down, such as 1.75 inch. If you know the BC, velocity, scope height, ect you can use this info and a JBM program to generate the MOA elevation and windage adjustments ( maybe yours has windage lines as well. Again is not a Horus, but it will be more accurate and effective(after you have trued the sub-tension lines) than the one size fits all Balistic caint miss reticle. This BC reticle turned up on the highest setting (this keeps it static -first focal plane like-) can also then be used to accurately measure distance out to about 700 yards if you know the size of the object you are ranging, like a moose's chest @33" on average. Once the animals get less than 3-4 minutes its not that effective any more, but between 100 and 700 yards its very accurate if the animal will hold still.
