THE LEUPOLD CLOSE MID-RANGE RETICLE (CM-R²)
Much like the SPR reticle, the CM-R² was designed to allow users
to successfully estimate range and engage targets with greater
flexibility than generally possible with other reticle styles. This
reticle also preserves the instinctive fire capabilities of the Leupold
Circle Dot reticle in short range, low magnification engagements
typical of 3-gun competition and Close Quarter Battle in the 21st
century. This unique blend of capabilities allows the various optics
platforms equipped with this reticle to perform equally well in open
desert, heavy cover, or the urban environment.
The CM-R² reticle is comprised of a 0.5 MOA dot surrounded by a
5.0 MOA circle for a perfect combination of precision and speed.
The hash marks on the horizontal stadia can be used for leading
targets moving at 5, 10, and 15 mph respectively. The tic marks
on the vertical stadia serve a dual purpose, allowing the user to
quickly estimate the distance to 18” targets while serving as precise
holdover points for targets between 300 and 900 meters. For best
results, the CM-R² reticle should be zeroed at 50 yards using M855
5.56mm NATO/.223 Remington ammunition producing a muzzle
velocity of 2810 fps with 62 grain FMJ bullets.
