The BG4 reticle is designed to be fast and intuitive to use and features ballistic drop compensation and range finder markings out to 600 yards. The ballistic data is based on common 5.56/.223 loadings in modern sporting rifles. The three tick posts draw the eye to the center for rapid acquisition at close range, while the drop compensation allows for rapid engagement of targets throughout the platform’s effective range.
The center dot (A) is intended to be zeroed at 100 yards for the remaining bullet drop reference points to work as intended. As an alternative for short range zeroing, the 300 yard point (C) can be used to zero at 25 yards. If this is done, we recommend conforming the zero at 100 yards at the first opportunity. The BG4 reticle provides seven points of aim (POA) corresponding to points of impact (POI) from 100-700 yards to determine range to an 18" wide target. All of these correspond to when the optic is at full 8X magnification and may only be approximate based on your specific loading, rifle variant, and prevailing climate.
(Subtensions are only valid at full 8x magnification)
If an 18" target fits between the bars marked X, the target is approximately 100 yards away and you should use POA A. If it fits between the bars marked Y, it is approximately 200 yards away and you should use POA B. The bars for the remaining POA's correspond to an 18" target at their respective ranges.
| POA | A | B | C | D | E | F | G |
| POI (YARDS) | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 |
