What reticles would you like to see added to AB Mobile App?
- Thread starter DocUSMCRetired
- Start date
Nikon BDC, Burris BallisticPlex and Leupold B&C.
As I read the list, many of the requests are for FFP scopes that have the ability to dial. Worst case, just dial! For those of us that have SFP scopes on hunting rifles, this holdover with something more than a duplex reticle is a godsend. Perhaps if you were to take the approach of determining what non-duplex SFP scopes are most popular and then work from there - you would be appealing to an audience that is not served by any other US based APP.
As a side note, giving users the ability to build their own reticle based on data often available about their own reticles, would be a very powerful alternative to licensing. We could establish a user community with technical information that could be shared on each reticle in a manner that could be readily incorporated into the APP. I think most people advanced enough to make proper use of AB could drop/transfer dimensional data of their favorite reticle into a "reticle builder" function within the app. Probably cheaper to design this than deal with all the scope manufacturers and ongoing maintenance of the licenses.

H59 there under "Horus h59".
I'll echo PR2 for common adoption.
The toric ELR would also be cool.
Also anything NF, ZCO, and Tangent Theta uses
My point is if given a choice of a supported reticle that demonstrates hold over or one without substention info I'd go with supported. Although I typically dial anyways I just like the quick info to hold and being a visual learning person it sets in my mind easier
We have 30 new reticles coming when the update goes public here soon.
However, its not as easy as just tossing in 600 reticles because you live in a country where you can blatantly ignore IP and copyright laws. We are working with a legal team to try to get more stuff included.
This one is on my list to program in hopefully soon. But isn't in yet.
Don't have legal rights to Athlon.
Don't have legal rights to Primary Arms.
Thanks a lot doc. If it came across as condescending, that wasn't the intent. We appreciate the efforts!
Just wanted to acknowledge that and say thank you for your contribution.
Did another 27 reticles today. I can say this time around, we added in 2 dozen Trijicon Reticles that have been requested.

I looked into these.
1) Nikon doesn't make scopes anymore, so that will be very troublesome to get.
2) Leupold B&C is a Cam System BDC on a SFP. This means aside from having to program in the SFP values (which I can easily do), the CAM system would have to also be programmed in because the reticle physically moves. Because of this I don't see these being added.
One would think these manufacturers would be begging you to include their reticles just for the free marketing angle. Imagine if a person is trying to choose between a Arken EP5 and a Athlon Ares ETR and they use your app and the Athlon is not in the data base; Arken for the win.
I have several SFP scopes with ballistic reticles like the Zeiss Rapid Z-800 and Burris RT6. I like being able in an app to adjust the power setting to see where the reticle best lines up over the distances I might use it. I then go and verify that on the range. Hopefully your app will accommodate such use.

I completely understand. I added the Z-800 and the RT6 to my list. We have that already, and with this next letter coming will drop probably another 12 SFP scopes in. The Acogs and BDCs will benefit greatly from this. In fact, the people I am in touch with at Trijicon had the letter completed in a single day. So did Zero Compromise and Arken. Same day they said "yes, lets do this!".
Also the way its been programmed now, you can also dial your reticle and set your zoom level to get the firing solution, or to print your sub tensions. At any magnification you want.
I will add your two here to my list and keep trying.

Outstanding!
So which manufacturers are dragging their feet? Perhaps a few emails from their customers encouraging them get on board could help them see the wisdom in having their reticles in the library of your app.
I appreciate this, but I am not sure that is a good course to sail at this moment.
This and Gen3 XR as well. Noticed you’ve not got the TT735P scope in there, but have the TT525P referenced twice: Once as “5-25x56mm Professional” and once as “TT525P” though they are the same scope.
Added in the following for tonights release:
Element: LPR-1D
Element: APR-1C MOA
Element: APR-1C MRAD
Element is working on getting more of what I need to add more. Very responsive company!
