Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary benefit of using a reticle eyepiece on a spotting scope like the Revic Acura S80A?

The primary benefit is its utility for spotting impacts and making precise shot corrections. The reticle acts as an integrated ruler, allowing spotters to call out exact corrections in MIL or MOA, leading to faster target acquisition and reduced ammunition waste, especially valuable for hunters.

How are the MIL and MOA scales configured on the Revic Acura S80A reticle eyepiece?

The reticle features a MIL ranging scale on the right and an MOA ranging scale on the left. Each MIL subtension is 1/10, with thicker marks for 1/2 MIL. MOA subtensions are provided in 1/4 minute increments for detailed measurement.

What makes the dual crosshair design of the Revic reticle unique?

Unlike many scopes with a central crosshair, the Revic reticle features two separate crosshairs (upper and lower). This creates an open space in the middle, allowing for unobstructed glassing and better target spotting before the reticle is used for precise aiming or measurement.

How easy is it to install the Revic reticle eyepiece on the Acura S80A spotting scope?

Installation is demonstrated as very easy. The standard eyepiece twists off with an unlocking mechanism, and the reticle eyepiece twists on securely in its place. It also features built-in caps for lens protection.
