OPTICAL FEATURES
Fully Multi-Coated
Increases light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces.
Second Focal Plane Reticle
Scale of reticle maintains the same ideally-sized appearance. Listed reticle subtensions used for estimating range, holdover and wind drift correction are accurate at the highest magnification.
Glass-Etched Reticle
Protected between two layers of glass for optimum durability and reliability.
Illuminated Reticle
Provides precise aiming under low-light conditions.
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
Tube Size
30 mm diameter.
Single-Piece Tube
Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance, as well as ensures strength and waterproofness.
Aircraft-Grade Aluminum
Constructed from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum for strength and rigidity.
Waterproof
O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust and debris from penetrating the riflescope for reliable performance in all environments.
Fogproof
Nitrogen gas purging prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.
Shockproof
Rugged construction withstands recoil and impact.
Hard Anodized Finish
Highly durable low-glare matte finish helps camouflage the shooter’s position.
Capped Reset Turrets
Allow re-indexing of the turret to zero after sighting in the riflescope. Caps provide external protection for turret.
CONVENIENCE FEATURES
Fast Focus Eyepiece
Allows quick and easy reticle focusing.
Using the Reticle for Bullet Drop Compensation
Standard BDC Technique
For best results, most 5.56mm/.223 caliber rifles can be zeroed in at 50 yards using the center dot. The 50 yard zero will closely correspond to the recommended 200 yard zero. 7.62mm/.308 caliber rifles can be initially zeroed at 30 yards, again closely corresponding to recommended 200 yard zero.
Once the rifle has been sighted in, the lower sub-crosshairs can be used
as aiming points at the corresponding distances listed on page 5. For most popular rifles and loads, the sub-crosshairs will provide accuracy within 0–3 inches of your aiming point.
Note: If you wish to get the very best accuracy from the AR-BDC2 reticle or work with loads and zero’s other than those listed here, you can custom match the exact ballistics of your particular load to the drop hashmarks of the reticle using ballistic programs such as Vortex’s LRBC (Long Range Ballistics Calculator).
