The new reticle is designed to enhance the capacity of the previous version of the MCZ cross. It allows you to make
corrections not only to elevate and lower trajectory path of the bullet, but also to hold on wind, shoot a moving target
and for derivation. MCZ II reticle, like the previous one is placed in the second focal plane and it’s scaled for magni

fication of 20x. This means that the change of magnification does not increase thickness of reticle lines, points, or
bars, and given sizes of additional points are valid only at magnification of 20x. Thinner lines cover equal 5mm/100m.
Central point and other points / dots / also covers 5mm/100m. Such a small size of point allows for extremely high
precision of the shot, because central dot covers only 2.5cm/500 m (and relatively 5cm/1000m). The section from
the central dot to the beginning of thin lines in the two planes is 2.5cm. Scale marks on both horizontal and vertical
lines covers 2.5cm/100m. In order to facilitate dimensional orientation and make corrections for the wind or moving
target markers on the horizontal lines are slightly enlarged at every 10 cm. Small marks on the horizontal lines cover
1 cm, bigger 1.25cm/100m.
Only central point / dot / is illuminated, this way avoiding the so-called „glowing trees” phenomenon that ma

kes it difficult to aim. In conditions of reduced visibility (moon night, dawn, dusk collapsing) shooter usually uses
only the central point. Bold horizontal bars make it easy to aim in much weaker visibility without using a backlight
and keep weapon horizontally with a riflescope. Thicker horizontal bars have a length of 10cm/100m, and width of
2.5cm/100m. Lower bar has the same width but shorter length / 7.5cm / and has an arrowhead. Marks on top thin
line allows to elevate trajectory of 20cm/100m. Smaller markers have width of 1cm, while the two larger - spaced by
10cm/100m - cover 2.5cm each.
At the bottom of the half-sphere there are additional scaled points /dots/, which enable shooting at long distances,
even when the riflescope mounting rail has no inclination. Lowerings of trajectory path are scaled by dots and mar

make corrections for wind, moving targets and derivation whereas the horizontal markers and additional side dots
are scaled at 2.5cm/100m.
