ELEvATion And Wind AgE TuRRETS ® ® The turrets of the Bushnell Elite Tactical 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. Each “click” represents .1 mil. ™ The Bushnell Elite Tactical Riflescope features T-Lok (locking) turrets. When a turret is lifted (elevated) into the upward po

FAST FoCuS EyEPiECE The fast-focus eyepiece dial is found on the ocular end of the Bushnell Elite Tactical 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 the scope at a plain background. Turn the fast-focus eyepiece dial clockwise or counterclockwise until the reticle pattern is sharp and clear. The eyepie

FiRST FoCAL PLAnE RETiCLE The Bushnell Elite Tactical 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 setting. Second focal plane reticles restrict the user to making measurements at a specific power, as the reticle remains the same size and will not acc

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 done with the turrets to move the red dot so it is centered in the middle of the

BuShnELL MiL do T 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. 1 Mil 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 center to the edge of the thick line. You will notice the intersection of the crosshairs does not contain a Mil dot. This is to allow maximum t

™ BuShnELL g2dMR RETiCLE The G2DMR reticle, developed in conjunction with G.A. Precision, provides a clean 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 windage holds. The entire reticle is shown below, but the following pages will provide a detailed look at the markings on the horizontal and vertical crosshair

ThE hoRiZonTAL CRoSShAiR On the horizontal crosshair, numerically designated Mil markings extend from the center of the crosshairs outward to the right in 2 Mil increments. To keep the reticle 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 crosshair. Moving from the center point to the right in the picture below measurements are as follows: .5 Mil, 1 Mil, 1.5 Mil, 2 Mil…etc. 1 Mil from cente

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. Ten .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 provide you with a very precise horizontal measurement of your target. 1 Mil consisting of ten .1 mil marks 9 Mil Mark 1 Mil Mark 1.5 Mil Height 1 M

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 Mils from center. From the 11th Mil measurement downward the reticle returns to the .1 Mil markings, before the next 1 Mil marking is seen measuring

hoR uS viSion h59 RETiCLE The H59 reticle is a “field-tuned” version of the H58 reticle 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 clutter of more complex reticles, while still providing more windage and elevation hold capability than any optic in its class. The clean design includes wind hold d

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 for your needs.

Precision mil-marking clusters 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 correct bracket is found.
