Konus Riflescopes offer everyone the ability to shoot like a marksman, but knowing how to choose just the right riflescope can mean the difference between success or failure while in the field. To optimize your experience, it is important to understand the terminology associated with the various rifle scopes available.
Reticles:
The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines a reticle as "a grid or pattern placed in the eyepiece of an optical instrument to establish scale or position." Reticles are the first thing that come to mind when thinking about scopes, as they provide your aiming point.
So, 30/30 RETICLE: Four thick posts at opposite sides from one another, connected by a fine crosshair that intersects at the center. A key feature of the 30/30 reticle is its ability to measure distance. The thick posts (end to end) equal 30"(75cm) across at 4X @ 100 yards (91m). (FYI: 30" is the approximate distance of an average sized adult deer from his chest to his rump). If the same 30" target stretches - the distance of the reticle, then it would be 200 yards (274m) away, etc.
All Konus items come with instruction manuals in 8 languages (English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Dutch, Portuguese and Greek) and this may be a significant advantage.
