The range of the GameKing's variable power magnification allows hunters greater flexibility. You can simply adjust the zoom according to the conditions of your hunting terrain. When the woods are thickest or the game is close, simply adjust to a lower power. When distance shots are necessary and the terrain is open, zoom in for a more precise view.

The Nikko Stirling LRX reticle uses everyday measurements to allow you to quickly and accurately, range find and determine the correct hold over for any rifle or ammunition. No factors, coefficients, millirads or complicated calculations need to be learned or performed.

Using a reticle to measure a target requires you to set the scope to 10X magnification. At this magnification the LRX reticle will measure at 100 yards a height of 1 inch to the first horizontal line and then two inches to the second line, increasing by a further 2 inches to each subsequent line

Quick accurate range finding
Range finding is easy. All you need to know is the approximate dimensions of the target.

Commonly in hunting predators, antelope or deer we use the chest dimension behind the forelegs.

For example: a target has a chest height of 12 inches. If you use the reticle to measure the height and note it measures 4 inches high then you can calculate the range as follows.

Example 1:
The target is normally 12 inches in the chest. Simply 12 /4 = 3 multiplied by 100 = 300 yards distance.

Example 2:
If the target chest measured 6 inches then it is closer at 12/6 = 2 multiplied by 100 = 200 yards.
