Rack Bracket System:
At full magnification, extended yardage crosshairs measure 24”, the tip-to-tip
distance between an average mule deer’s ears. The hash marks on each crosshair indicate the distance between an average whitetail’s ears. Use these known measurements to judge a buck’s rack.

Near, far, all conditions – no scope has greater range than the Elite 6500.
