I'm interested in a Sig Sauer Tango MSR 1-6x24 LPVO scope with BDC6 reticle. I understand that BDC reticles involve LOTS of variables: firearm, ammunition, atmospheric conditions, etc. So I can't trust BDC markings to be truly accurate...even when using a rifle that matches the reticle spec.
This is what I think I know, maybe (per image below):
1. The six hash marks below the primary aiming dot represent 18-inches width (shoulder width for an average man) at various distances, from 200 yards (top) to 700 yards (bottom).
2. The dots to left and right of each hash mark indicate holds for windage. Most have two dots on each side of the bar. Outer dots indicate a 10mph wind. Inner dots indicate a 5mph wind.
3. The arrows pointing toward the primary aiming dot (3 arrows on each side) are meant to assist in leading a moving target.
I DO NOT understand the meaning of the numbers I've circled in green on the image below.
A: 5.04
B: 3.70 relates (maybe) to the first windage dot for the first and third horizontal bars
WHAT DO THESE FIGURES MEAN?
