FX-MOA reticle

Nikon’sFX-MOAreticle(Fig.4-1)wasdesignedspecificallyfortheFirstFocalPlaneopticalsystemas

utilized in the BLACK FX1000 riflescope. This highly functional and advanced tool can be used for all

aspects of long-range shooting, including estimating range, maintaining holdovers, dialing elevation

come ups and compensating for wind and target leads. Because it is located in the First Focal Plane,

thereticlesubtensionsremainconstantatanyoftheriflescope’smagnificationsettings.Inaddition,

the FX-MOA reticle can be used in virtually any shooting application regardless of caliber or ballistic

performance, and when paired with the BLACK FX1000 riflescope, provides shooters with the tools

necessary for long-range shooting precision.

The FX-MOA reticle offers 30 MOA of measurement above, below and to the right and left of the

crosshair—allowing ample calculations of elevation and windage for virtually any relevant distance.

The reticle is designed to “free-float” 5 MOA inside of heavy 2.75-MOA-thick outer posts at 3, 6, 9 and

12o’clock.Tomaintainanunclutteredappearanceandallowforquickreferencing,thereticleutilizes

alternating .75 MOA and 1.5 MOA hash marks spaced at 1 MOA, with 2.5 MOA “reference hashes”

indicated at 10, 20 and 30 MOA on each horizontal and vertical wire.
