Rifle Scopes New Army Reticle, Details Inside

[beetroot]

How fast does your target have to be moving at 500 yards to have to hold 28 mils of lead. Apparently 47 mph according to Strelok using my RPR 556 and an 80 gr eld. I never understood going that far to the sides with numbers when it would be better for the eye and aiming to have a thick line instead.

It's primarily for 600 yard shots from helicopter.

I remember you guys trash talking my whore 59 (flyswatter) and now all of a sudden it looks pretty good ..... state of the art

You seem to have missed that some of us are now trash-talking both.

What was the reticle that was just solid grid below the horizontal? That is what we need. That is what we all need.

There is a lot going on in there

I believe that course of action was already in play,

Sure you can sue, question is will you win, the patents are getting old and people are fighting the prior art claims now ,

I believe they tried to sue or are in the process, but it’s defendable if you want it to be, in past people caved because the money wasn’t worth it, now they fight back.

prior art exists

Ya I see the big transition in their older patents vs newer ones - assume its exactly for that reason.

Their newer patents now include much more depth on HOW the reticle is put onto transparent wafer like what machine/technique used for putting in reticle (IMRA), and how the "transparent disc" itself is made (glass recipes). Its clever of them - but still I believe most just falls into prior art category or not specific enough for someone skilled in the trade to not already know of. Still can be intimidating to most after read them like "did we use clear glass? shit" - makes their 'settlement' threshold lower so HVRT wins anyway.

But HVRT is filled with sharks, and billable hours is what those attorneys sold to HVRT to make them think they were safer - and they probably are, just not close the book end of discussion safe. If they were really that safe (own gravity, atmosphere, clear glass, laser etching) then wouldn't it just be a quasi-monopoly? Judges won't appreciate that!

I would buy a Zcomp or S&B if it had that reticle in it. My prefered is the H-59 but any open top looks good to me.
