The ZF–MOAi and ZF–MRi illuminated reticles represent MOA and MRAD smart reticle design respectively. Each reticle has clear, simple, and easily-understandable reference marks along its main horizontal and vertical lines. These reticles also provide windage hold-offs below the centerline of the field-of view. Both offer subtensions for fine lines and floating center dots to meet the needs of long-range hunters and precision shooters. The LRP S5 318-50 MRAD Reticle at 18.-power is shown to the right.

It features a floating center dot, 0.2 Subtensions, and diffractive illumination that provide exceptional contrast so the shooter doesn’t get lost in it. The clutter-free tree design makes identifying missed and impacts easy for follow-up shots. ZEISS LRP 5 Scopes are also great for hunters
