THE VORTEX® TMCQTM MOA RETICLE

Designed to maximize the performance of the Viper®PSTTM 1–4x24 in

close and mid-range shooting situations, the TMCQ

can also be used to effectively determine ranges, holdovers, windage

corrections and moving target leads. Once the Viper PST 1–4x24

riflescope has been sighted-in and the turret caps indexed (see the

riflescope owner’s manual), it is ready to be used in the field.

The following suggestions are based on using the TMCQ MOA reticle

on an AR-15 style rifle chambered in most popular 5.56 mm loads and

sighted in at 100 yards. If you are using a different rifle and ammunition,

your results will differ somewhat, but the basic information will still

apply.

Using at Close Ranges

At short range distances inside of 25 yards, maximum performance

will come from using the PST 1–4x24 riflescope set down to lowest 1x

magnification and shooting with both eyes open using the heavy outer

circle and illuminated center crosshair dot to quickly center the target.

On most centerfire applications, actual point-of-impact will be just below

the crosshair intersection—typically 1–2 inches low from 0–25 yards.

Using at Intermediate Ranges

For distances of 50–175 yards, more magnification may be used if

desired and main crosshairs should still be used in a dead-on hold. On

most centerfire applications, point-of-impact will typically be .2 inches

below the crosshair intersection at 50 yards, dead on at 100 yards and

2.4 inches below crosshair intersection by 175 yards.
