INTRODUCTION
Steiner is one of the largest manufacturers of high-quality
optics in the world. Steiner riflescopes are German
engineered and made for hunters and precision shooters
who demand the best. These scopes are optically and
mechanically superior to scopes that cost thousands more.
We offer a variety of reticle designs for both hunting and
precision shooting. This guide explains the reticles that we
offer, how to best use them for more precise aiming, and how
to adjust for holdover at long distances and hold-off for wind.
STEINER PLEX S1 / S7 RETICLES
Plex S1 Reticle
1
The Steiner Plex S1/S7 reticles provide a simple, uncluttered
and easy-to-use solution for determining holdover and wind
drift. For calculating wind drift, the Plex S1 reticle has a
series of small cascading dots placed to the left and right
of the reticle. These dots represent the effect of a 10 mph
crosswind for most big game hunting cartridges. For a 5
mph crosswind, simply hold into the wind half the distance
to the dot. If the crosswind is 20 mph, simply hold into the
wind twice the distance from the center post to the dot.
The S7 reticle is calibrated specifically for the .22-250
caliber, but it is easily adapted to most cartridges. The
Steiner Plex S7 reticle features a series of lines that are
calibrated for 5 and 10 mph crosswinds. If the crosswind
is 5 mph, use the inside edge of the line. For a 10 mph crosswind,
the outside edge will accommodate the wind drift.
Plex S7 Reticle
If you know the distance to your target and the speed of
the wind, you can quickly determine the correct aiming
point to compensate for both bullet drop and drift. The
Steiner Plex S1/S7 reticles are much more accurate than
guessing holdover or hold-off. They can also be faster and
more reassuring to most shooters than using target-type
adjustments.
2
The nature of ballistics is such that everything is theoretical
and if any one of the variables changes (altitude, temperature,
barometric pressure, humidity, bullet design, barrel length,
chamber fit, seating depth, etc.) so does the ballistic table.
For maximum accuracy, practice at long ranges under
similar conditions to those you will experience in the field.
For maximum accuracy at long ranges, instead of sighting
in at 100 yards using the center of the reticle, sight in at a
longer range such as 400 yards using the 400-yard ballistic
line. This will decrease the amount of long-range error that
can occur under various environmental conditions, or when
slightly under-estimating point-of-impact at shorter ranges.
STEINER 4A / 4A i RETICLE
The 4A and 4A-I reticles have three posts and a center dot
for quick, uncluttered target acquisition. On the 4A-I the
center dot is illuminated for use in low light. This reticle is
very popular in Europe where much of the big game hunting
is done at night and in very low light. The standard 4A is
well suited for big game hunting and varmint shooting.
4Ai Reticle

RAPID DOT 5.56 / 7.62 RETICLE
The Rapid Dot Reticle was designed for tactical riflescopes
and works extremely well in close combat situations where
fast target acquisition is critical. Paired with a true 1x
magnification optic, it can be shot at low magnification with
both eyes open for situational awareness. Stadia lines below
the center crosshair are calibrated for specific calibers so
that the shooter can engage targets accurately out to
700 meters.
This reticle is ideal for AR/M4 platforms and is perfect for
3-Gun competitions.

3TR™ /P3TR™ RETICLE
The 3TR and P3TR reticles were designed for tactical
riflescopes and COB situations. Both offer a true 1x
magnification and daylight viewable illumination with 11
magnification levels: 7 night/4 day. Each reticle has stadia
lines below the crosshair so that the shooter can engage
targets accurately out to 700 meters.
The 3TR is available in two configurations for either 5.56
or 7.63 caliber ammo. On the P3TR the subtentions have
been averaged so that it works well with either 5.56 and
7.62 caliber ammo.

G2B MIL-DOT RETICLE
This reticle is a popular choice for precision shooters who
engage targets at long distances. It is a mil-based reticle with
ballistic hash marks between mil dots for more precise aiming,
for determining distance to targets and for determining
holdover and hold-off for wind. The center section of the
reticle is illuminated with 11 levels of light intensity making the
reticle easier to view during daylight and nighttime
operations. The lowest levels can also be used with night
vision devices.

MSR RETICLE
The Multi-Purpose Sniper Reticle is a mil-based reticle
that was initially designed for snipers but has become very
popular with precision, long-range shooters. The reticle
is divided into three parts that include the main reticle, a
fine milling scale in the lower left quadrant, and a rapid
ranging scale in the lower right quadrant.
Located on the first focal plane, it also features an
illuminated center crosshair. The vertical and horizontal
hairline offers a continuous 1mil scale with 1/2-mil division
marks for precise aiming.

SCR™ RETICLE
Steiner’s Special Competition Reticle (SCR) is a proprietary
reticle designed by Steiner for precision competition use. An
extended illumination area lets the shooter engage targets
at long distance even in low light. The vertical crosshair
features 1/2-mil marks for distance holdover. The horizontal
crosshair offers 1/2-mil and 2/10-mil lines for windage
hold-off.
For precise distance ranging, the reticle offers 1/10-mil
ranging brackets at the top, left and right extremes of the
crosshair.

HORUS H59 RETICLE
Licensed from Horus Vision, the H59™ reticle is a
"field-tuned" version of the H58 that is designed for speed
shooting out to 600 meters. The Horus Grid lets you visually
place the target on the appropriate horizontal and vertical
grid lines to correct for elevation and windage visually
without turning knobs or counting clicks. The H59 reticle is
also illuminated for use in twilight and low light conditions.

Horus TReMoR2™
The TReMoR2™ reticle is all about faster shooting. It's fieldproven to make wind calls easier. The open field of view above
center reticle allows clear observation and spotting. The very
fine reticle design aids in precise aiming at high power and
distant ranges. Refined “chevron” mil markers subtend to 0.1
mils and versatile marker groupings occur throughout the
reticle making it easier to measure targets.
Drop line numbers 1-9 serve as 4-mph Moving Target Holds.

Horus TReMoR3™
The TReMoR3™ reticle is similar to the TReMoR2™ with a mil
grid that can be used for windage and elevation. What sets
the T3 apart are wind holds that are built-into the reticle grid.
The Wind Dots give the shooter the ability to visually quantify
the wind’s effect on the bullet. They are located on the
bottom half of each horizontal mil stadia. Wind dots are
caliber specific and can be calibrated using a Kestrel with
Horus ATrag software.
