THE BUSHNELL DEPLOY™ MOA RETICLE
The Bushnell® Deploy™ MOA reticle is designed for versatility. It has value for hunters, target shooters, devotees of
multiple calibers – anyone who is looking for flexibility in an optic. The 0.18 MOA thick crosshairs are easy to see without
obstructing the target picture. There are hashmarks at every 1 MOA for accurate elevation holdover. The hashmarks
below zero are 2 MOA wide, to aid in accurate windage holds. With accurate ballistic calculations, the Deploy MOA reticle
delivers accurate shots, every time.
SIGHTING IN / AIMING POINTS
The Deploy MOA reticle is intended to be sighted in at 100 yards, and is calibrated in MOA (minutes of
arc). The reticle has wider markings every 5 MOA. The user can sight-in at 100 yds on any magnification
setting, but for the Deploy MOA reticle feature (range and windage marks) to function properly in SFP
models (see "Technical Specs" table), the scope's magnification must be set to the highest power (with
the exception of the 6-24x50 model, which should be set to 20x). The correct settings for the Nitro
models that include the Deploy MOA reticle in the second focal plane are shown in the chart on the
right.
COMPENSATING FOR THE EFFECTS OF WIND / AIMING POINTS
The Deploy MOA reticle also incorporates windage hold points on the horizontal axis in the reticle to aid in compensation
for the wind's effect on bullet trajectory. Windage hold marks are spaced at 1 MOA intervals, with heavier marks every 5
MOA. The first few 1 MOA marks on the vertical (elevation) axis are also useful for windage purposes, as each mark is 2
MOA in width. To use the windage hold marks, first determine a range to the target using a Bushnell laser rangefinder
(or by using the reticle to estimate distance-see the next section of this manual). Once the range to target is available, an
estimate of wind velocity must be made. The reticle can then be elevated to the correct yardage mark and then moved
horizontally into the wind direction using the MOA wind marks on the Deploy reticle in order to compensate for bullet
drop and wind drift. Illustrations of the reticle markings are shown below.
The Deploy reticle is designed to be used with any caliber, bullet weight and velocity. Simply run the ballistics with a known
velocity, BC, zero distance and environmental data to get your MOA drop points at various distances. Illustrations of the
reticle markings are shown below (Deploy FFP version) and on the next page (Deploy SFP version).
