What is a Truplex reticle

[pizzicato]

Hi

I should like to know what is a truplex reticle and how is it different to a duplex or 30/30 reticle.

I understand Mil-Dot and ladder so no comments about my asphericals please and I have done a quick search but it didn't help

cheers

... it seems it's associated with Simmons scopes but I am still non the wiser ... it looks like a standard 30/30 but with an outer circle ... or is it my myopic eyes

would still appreciate an opinion etc

Truplex / Triplex
Similar to a Duplex (thick on outside, thin in middle) but with a smaller thin bit and longer thick bits. As you say, Simmons use this reticle a lot.

Sounds like what I normally call a "tight" duplex....

I think Leupold also call it a fine duplex just to add to any confusion.

The 30/30 reticule is named because the gap between the thick posts is supposed to subtend 30" at 100 yards on 4x mag. Read that somewhere...
