MIL-DOT RETICLE
Your night vision riflescope Phantom has a Mil-Dot reticle installed which helps you determine
distance to the target if you know its actual size.
The Use of a Mil-Dot reticle:
Viewing the target through the riflescope place the edge of one post against one edge (top, bottom, or
either side) of the target so that the crosshair extends along either its width or height.
Using the dots, measure along the crosshair to the opposite edge of the target.
Once the measurement of the target has been estimated in mils, use the following formula to determine
the range:
The Measured object's width or height in Yards x 1000
= Range in Yards
Object's Width or Height in Mils
or
The Measured object's width or height in Meters x 1000
= Range in Meters
Object's Width or Height in Mils
or
The Measured object's width or height in cm x 10
= Range in Meters
Object's Width or Height in Mils
Example:
1.33 yards x 1000 = 1330 = 532 Yards
2.5 mils
2.5
When making windage/elevation adjustments please note that one click of the riflescope's adjustment
equals to:
For the model Phantom 3x50:
0.527 MOA (minute of angle); 0.5519”/100yds ; 1.533cm/100m
For the model Phantom 4x60:
0.4235 MOA ; 0.4435”/100 yds; 1.232cm/100m
1 mil (millirad) equals 3.6 inches at 100 yards or 36 inches at 1,000 yards,
or 10 centimeters at 100 meters or 1 meter at 1,000 meters.
1 millirad (1 mil) = 0.001 of the distance = 3.4377 MOA
