Would you buy this scope?

The silhouette mil/ranging could be useful for hunting if I knew what size they assign to it.

It was assigned to combatants with slightly lower average height than western forces.


Put the dot top head, check which line is closest to armpits. Works regardless of angle.

In this case "shoot", otherwise AIM LONG// AIM SHORT and trajectory solves the rest.

It is not calibre specific, once range is set the fall angle/danger space of the projectile doesn't really change that much.

It's not something I believe in. But if you insist on being stupid and training your shooters with the range & front-only 2-4-6-8-1000 "stairs scale", at least do it this way.

You need to have an inkling where SHORT//LONG is on your trajectory and eyeball it with plenty effect for that target.

This is the slow version of the killbox/ center square.

I'll see if I can dig up the exact measurements, but it's not a priority so don't hold your breath.

I hope that is never useful to me…. Looks incredibly efficient. If it was say 18inches/46 cm reference, it could be turned sideways to range deer.

Primary arms did something similar to what you are describing years ago called the orion

Looking at the Scope Interest thread, folks here are ready to put down $40,000+ on a half mil worth of scopes. That's pretty good.

I prob need to rewatch the youtube series now that I have the scope in hand. The aim short and longs dots are nifty. I, think, I understand the wobble zone marks around the aim short/long, not sure if they are related to a "normal" target size or just if it fits it hits. How to use the milling bars, I have some references and that isn't specific to this scope, but something I need to work on. The silhouette mil/ranging could be useful for hunting if I knew what size they assign to it.

Luckily, the “wobble zone” is not based on the size of my “wobble zone”.

To @1000yards (and anyone else) - there's a lot that can be learned about this reticle without even having it in hand.

I'd highly recommend reading the ZP5 eval (Minox ZP5 5-25x56mm THLR Field Eval) and Q&A threads (https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/q-a-for-minox-zp5-5-25x56mm-thlr-scope.253284/) - you'll pick up a lot.

I think I also posted here in the last week or so to work through all of @THLR's videos on the reticle - and then do it all over again.

@nm.otter, that legend, even posted a direct link to @THLR's playlist: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads...5x56mm-thlr-scope.253284/page-11#post-4404919

Once again, Rokslide is now the largest repository on the internet about the THLR reticle ... if you read the descriptions of the subtensions, the use in practice, how it works as both a 'plain' mil reticle as well as effectively has BDC elements contained (if you want that) ... you can then get a good sense looking at some of Thomas and Form's images of the reticle over targets about what means what, and how you'd use it.

Part of the genius of Thomas's reticle is that you can put it in someone's hands, who knows nothing of the design, and they'll say things like 'This is great. It's clear, and intuitive' - while only knowing part of the functionality.

But once people know what the reticle is fully capable of, it's like scales are lifted from their eyes, and the reticle becomes something else ... it's like turning on 'advanced mode' or something.

is the diet flight computer for doing the mrad calculations needed for best use of this reticle?

I looked into it more and it’s a trueMiller and I assume not. I imagine it’s just an intuitive way of doing the calculations
