Hi! I have this r3 reticle but I really don’t understand the spacing. Can anyone decipher the diagram and tell me what the spacing is on the vertical line down? Thanks!!
Help understanding this reticle?

the guy above is probably right on ... but unless the reticle is for my specific application basically i want to know where im at with it at the point my pellet drops 6" or 1' out of my zero .. so mark off a target with black tape or something so i can compare it with the reticle .. so i know out at the stop sign is about 87 yards from this window give or take a foot and my pellet drops out of my zero about exactly 1 foot at 87 yards ... so i want a 1 ft piece of black tape on that sign post and compare it with my reticle .. when numnuts comes by screeching his tires i know exactly which hash i need to put one in his tail light lol ..

Thanks! So basically, from the center dot down to the first hash is actually 2moa? From the dot down to the tip of the vertical line I assume is 1moa? I’m going to try and learn to click this one, and use turret tape. It just clicks so nicely. Keep in mind I have never clicked anything in my life, Only used holdover marks like “dizzums” mentioned.

That's a pretty awful reticle. From the center dot does appear to be 2 MOA to the line and then 1 MOA to the first has. Which means the first long hash is 5 MOA, and then it is marked out by 4 MOA? So the next long hash is 9 MOA? That makes zero sense to me - what scope is this from?

Its a Riton conquer x1. I actually like the scope. Its relatively clear and clicks super nice. Now Its not the best by any means and I am not trying to compare it to another, but it works well for me. Agreed, its not the best reticle, but everything else surpasses my needs until I can afford much better. I also dont shoot past 90 yards with the majority being 40-50.

Hey bro - I wasn't trying to trash the scope in any way. I have scopes that are amazing, but I just wish they had a better reticle.
BTW - if you want to do the clicking thing - check out the Strelok Pro app on iOS or Android. I held off still using Chair Gun for the longest but just switched over a few weeks ago. The app is utterly simple to figure out and I am really pleased with it. It will help you learn your holdovers as well.

It looks like it's a SFP scope so the moa value in the reticle is only correct on one magnification. From the dot to the tip of the next line out from center in any direction is 1 moa. To the next hash it's 2 moa, and so forth.

Ctshooter, no worries and no offense taken, I wish it had a different reticle, but I am surprised how much I like the scope considering its fairly inexpensive . I have chairgun (havent used it yet) but will also look into strelok.
Steve123, Thanks for that info, I need to ask riton or look up the specs to see at what magnification its calibrated to.

Lets read this together.
All measurements are relative to your reference magnification in an SFP scope and always correct in an FFP scope.
The lines on your scope are 0.08 MOA wide.
Your MOA hash marks are 0.4 MOA. Your half MOA hash marks are 0.2 MOA. Your quater hash marks are 0.1 MOA (by deduction).
The RADIUS of your center dot area is 0.25 MOA. That makes it half a MOA across. Your center dot itself looks to be 0.08 MOA same as a line.
The reticle has two MOA wide sections on the ends of each side and the bottom which are divided into 5 by 0.2 MOA hash marks.
The end blocks are 0.2 MOA wide and look to be 0.4 MOA long.
There is a 0.8 MOA hash mark above the bottom block.
The horizontal axis is 10 MOA wide.
The vertical axis below the center is 5 MOA tall. It extends 2.5 MOA above the horizontal axis.
All in all a nice layout but a bit busy. It will work.
Good shooting!
