3GunF1Guy Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Post here what you think is the best reticle for a 3-gun rifle scope and why. Also include the power of scope. If one is not being put in a scope now what would you like to see. Draw a picture and post so that we can all see. All of the reticles for me are not what I would consider the best for 3-gun. Here is a pict of one that I made that would be perfect IMHO. The red part would be Illuminated and the crosshairs would not be, they would stay black. The red circle could be 8-12 moa. I would prefer a 8 moa so that at 100 yds it would exactly be the circle of a flash target. I also would prefer a fine croshair in the middle that is not illuminated. Here in the western US we have alot of small (colt pepper popper) at up to 100 yds and 8 inch swingers (flash targets) at up to 400 yds, so the fine crosshirs work great for me at small and far shots. the Illuminated circle would be great on hoser close paper targets. The scope would have to be a 1-5x? and it could have up to a 32mm objective. I always have a 300 yd zero so I do not need any other marks in the scope. At 400 yds all I have to do is hold over about 6 inches and I can hit a 8 inch flash target without a problem (if I do my part).

kurtm Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 It would look like a dougnut, be lit by maybe a fiberoptic over tritium, and have stadia lines starting at 400 or so down to 800, I would like to see it around a 3.5X KURTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacMan Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Scott, I keep telling you it's this one! It's gonna be a while according to Mueller The new Leupold CQ/T custom shop reticle looks promising albeit not lit for daylight use. I might have to fork out $160 for this option once it is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 True 1 to 4 or 5 power long eye relief with bright red 2 min. dot at high power and 8 min. dot at 1 power with trajectory compensation out to 800 yards. It shouldn't weigh more than 12 oz. and cost less than $600.00 and come in your preference of color. A Meopta with the red dot and a TDS reticle would surfice.

3GunF1Guy Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 Kurt, What do you use the stadia lines for in 3-gun? When was the last time you shot 400+ yds in a 3-gun match? Scott P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtm Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Scott: we used to shoot 400 plus all the time at the old S.O.F. match. Mesa has usually gone past 300 every year, out to about 375 once, and thats darn close to 400. Besides who said this was just for a match KURTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott P I think the cognoscente are just having fun. I believe they are saying that they like the TA11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overkill Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 What's really amazing is that no one does produce a really ideal 3-gun optic. Seems like everything out there is a major compromise and/or obscenely expensive. While we're wishing, I'd also like it a long eye relief model for the scout mount.

Go to a gunshow and find an old Redfield 1X-4X x 20 IER (Intermediate Eye Relief). Seven inches of eye relief and a pretty good day optic. Price range $100 - $175.
