R ANGE ESTIMATING WITH V ARI -X III SCOPES
Selected Vari-X III scopes have a built-in range estimator. This system uses
the Duplex
®
reticle in combination with an additional set of numbers on
the power selector ring. In scopes with this feature the space between the tip
of the thicker post of the Duplex reticle and the center of the reticle covers
16 inches at 200 yards (the size of a Whitetail buck from backbone to brisket).
NOTE: The Duplex reticle was designed to estimate ranges based on the back-
bone to brisket dimension of a Whitetail buck. The distance of other game with a
body dimension that is known to be 16 inches (or 32 inches if the measurement is
taken from post to post
instead of post to crosshair)
may certainly be estimated.
It is always helpful to
know the physical size of
your target whenever you
estimate range.
