The KLBOX Reticle is a revolutionary Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC) style design carefully crafted to enhance performance in high-pressure scenarios. Engineered around a blend of the renowned 5.56 and 7.62 cartridges, this reticle leverages an overlay of ballistic data, pinpointing the optimal ballistic model for targeting and firing solutions, seamlessly integrated into one system for you.
Easy Distance Reference
Extending diagonally below the centreline, the outer numerical markers represent distances in yards. Those along the right and left edges serve as general references, each denoting 100-yard intervals starting at 400 yards.
4 = 400yards | 5 = 500yards | 6 = 600 yards | 7 = 700yards | 8 = 800 yards
Wind Assistance and Moving Targets
A dot adjacent to each number signifies a 7mph wind hold for 5.56 and a 10mph wind hold for 7.62. The arrows flanking the center line provide approximate holds for moving targets in their respective directions.
Frame and Fire!
With the KLBOX Reticle, aligning a silhouette target becomes a seamless process. By using natural reference points like shoulder, torso, and head measurements, can swiftly gauge with combat you the distance. Engineered effectiveness in mind, this reticle simplifies distance estimation within the operational range of 1X-8X. This means quicker target acquisition and more effective shots down range.
A quick turn of the built in throw lever to 1 x power and you have a large crosshair for close up and quick shots.
The Arken Optics EP8’s unique KL Box reticle makes it ideal for longer unknown distance engagements where seconds count, as well as close up engagements at 1 x power.
Together with its built in Range estimation, bullet drop compensation, wind holdovers and moving target holdovers the Arken Optics EP8 is a must have for any AR or similar type applications.
