Using a Mil-Dot Scope Reticule...

arshins ? Or maybe versts ?
Time it takes the tractor to reach the intended target ...

I personally prefer this reticle.....very easy to use.

What is calibrated in, lines and arshins? Or maybe versts?

The scale on the left is a stadiametric rangefinder from 200-1000m based on a 1.7m high target, feet on horizontal line head on sloping line......read off range.

The inverted chevron on the horizontal plane is used as the main aiming mark out to 1000m, the lower chevrons correspond to 1100-1300m respectively when the BDC turret is set to "10" (1000m)

The 10 reticle hashmarks in the horizontal plane can be used to compensate for wind or moving targets and can also be used for additional stadiametric rangefinding purposes, since they are spaced at 1 milliradian intervals, meaning if an object is 5 m wide it will appear 10 hashmarks wide at 500 m.

BDC elevation turret is calibrated for the 150gr Russian 7.62x54r round and when zeroing the scope the elevation and windage turrets adjust the reticle in 0.5 Mil increments.

The PSO-1 scope also features reticle illumination and has an IR detecting function that is built in an charged by either daylight or fluorescent light.Not bad for a scope designed 52 years ago, my example in approx 46 years old and functions perfectly with crystal clear optics.

The reticle on a 1pn21 Minuta pancratic scope is even more impressive and is quite a technical scope with a few interesting features.

PSO-1 top, 1pn21 below it.......
