Guide to Multi-Reticle shooting - precision meets speed
The AIMPOINT Multi-Reticle Optic provides three reticle options: a 65 MOA circle for rapid close-range acquisition, a 2 MOA dot for uncluttered precision, and a combination of 65 MOA circle with 2 MOA dot for shooters who demand both capabilities at once. It's true 1X, parallax-free glass allows both-eyes-open shooting, giving shooters complete situational awareness and rapid target engagement in any environment.
Close range (0–25 meters)
The 65 MOA circle can be used to bracket and quickly center a target. The 6 o’clock lower hash mark provides a precise aiming reference for accurate shots inside 7 meters.
Mid to long range (25–400+ meters)
Use the 2 MOA dot for precision shots at close to long range. A 50-meter zero will typically keep the impacts within a 10 cm deviation out to 250 meters on most 5.56/.223 rifles. To achieve maximum precision, the use of an AIMPOINT magnifier is encouraged.
Range estimation with 65 MOA circle
100 meters
A standard target (approximately 180 cm tall) will completely fill the entire 65 MOA circle.
200 meters
The target will span from the bottom of the circle to the center dot.
300 meters
The target will cover roughly two-thirds of the distance from the bottom of the circle to the center dot.
400 meters
The target will occupy about half the distance from the bottom of the circle to the center dot.
Note: At long range, an AIMPOINT magnifier is recommended to maintain target visibility and precision
