The VerticAL Crosshair
Similar to the horizontal crosshair, the vertical crosshair places the numerically designated Mil markings on only one side. Once again, the numerically designated markings are found in 2 Mil increments with hash marks every .5 Mil. Note the vertical cross hair extends to provide numerically designated markings up to 10 Mils from center. From the 11th Mil measurement downward the reticle returns to the .1 Mil markings, before the next 1 Mil marking is seen measuring 1.5 Mils across.
The lower portion of the vertical crosshair is different than all other portions of the reticle. Starting with the 2 and 3 Mil mark, the horizontal hash mark seen in the picture below measures 1 Mil across. See list below for horizontal hash mark measurements extending down to 10 Mils.
