i'll check it when i get home later. I have the Leupold catalog, and it's in there. Sounds like u're gonna apply it for longer range shooting. I do remember looking at the subtensions before, and i thought they were great for downrange zeroing, both windage and elevation, as well as rangefinding for big game.

According to the catalog that scope has only 1 factory reticle available for it, and that is the std. Duplex. It is 9.0 inches from post tip to post tip @ 100 yds. or 8.6 MOA.

That's the second time i've seen info different than the catalogs advertise.? Oh well at least i got 1 for ya'.

Just looked at the '07 catalog, and yes they do advertise those reticles (except the #4) as being available for the FX III 6X42 but no measurements besides the Duplex itself on the subtension pg.?

The '06 catalog shows that scope available in the #4 but not '07.?

I have seen Leupold make some mistakes before tho. They actually had the subtension info. wrong in their catalog when they 1st put out the VH reticle.
