MIL-C™ F1 Reticle
The MIL-C™ has a single center dot for fine aiming, while the main lines feature 0.2 Mil-Radian retentions. Each entire Mil-Radian is numbered for quick reference even under stress conditions.
Scope Estimation
The Nightforce MIL-C™ reticle can provide you with accurate distance to your target, when the size of the target is known, using one of the following Mil ratio formulas:
(Target Size in Inches ÷ Image Size Measured in Mils on the Reticle) x 27.77 = Distance in Yards
(Target Size in Inches ÷ Image Size Measured in Mils on Reticle) x 25.4 = Distance in Meters
(Target size in centimeters ÷ Image size measured in millimeters on the reticle) x 10.93 = Distance in yards
(Target size in centimeters ÷ Image size measured in millimeters on the reticle) x 10 = Distance in meters
For example, a standard stop sign measures 30" tall x 30" wide. By knowing the size of the target, in this case a stop sign, and applying the correct formula above, you will be able to accurately calculate the distance to your target.
Known target size = 30
Image size = 2.5 Mils. To measure the target image size in Mils, refer to the reticle diagram above.
Divide target size (30") by crosshair image size (2.5) = 12
For distance in yards, multiply 12 x 27.77 (constant) = 333.24 yards to the target.
For the distance in meters, multiply 12 x 25.4 (constant) = 304.8 meters to the target.
Your ability to accurately measure your target on your reticle requires some practice to become proficient.
