From the Manufacturer

The wide-angle nature of the Razor HD Ranging Reticle eyepiece reveals a field of view that is wider than what you would see at the same magnification through the 20-60x zoom eyepiece, and the fixed-power design offers the highest level of resolution. Vortex's ranging reticle provides precise target range estimation.

This MOA-based Razor HD reticle can be used to estimate distances as well as to call shots and provide rapid MOA corrections for stray shots. It will be most useful when used in conjunction with MOA-based riflescopes. MOA measurements are very effective for ranging using simple formulas—knowing the size of the target or nearby object is essential.

Using either the vertical or horizontal MOA scale, place the reticle on the target of known dimensions and read the number of MOAs spanned. You will obtain maximum accuracy in ranging by calculating exact MOA measurements. MOAs should be estimated in 1/4s if possible. To help calculate fractions of MOAs, the inner crosshair line thickness can be used as a reference. Accurate measuring will depend on a very steady hold—be sure to use a high-quality tripod. Once you have an accurate MOA reading, use the formula to calculate the distance.

Note: In the MOA ranging formula, a shooter may substitute 100 for 95.5 in the interest of speedier calculations. Be aware that this will produce a five percent over-estimation error of the yardage distance obtained.

Used in conjunction with the Razor HD 85mm spotter, range work, calling shots, and spotter/shooter communication become seamless. It's essentially like having a ruler in your spotting scope—which comes in quite handy.

This model is MOA configuration to match the reticle sub tension markings and turret graduations in your riflescope.

The HD optical system delivers exceptional resolution, cuts chromatic aberration, and provides outstanding color fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness, and light transmission. XR lens coatings provide light transmission for clarity and low-light performance.

The Ultra-hard ArmorTek lens coatings defend against scratches, oil, and dirt. Designed to withstand the highest levels of recoil and impact.

This eyepiece is specifically designed for use with 85 mm Razor HD spotting scopes - it is not compatible with the 65mm and 50 mm Razor HD models.
