Tired searching the forum but got tired of looking.

I have a Leupold VX-II 6x18 and want to change the duplex reticle to a dot, preferably a 1/2 MOA. Called Leupold and was told they have a .388 or a .667 dot. He said the larger dot was a little over 1/2" at 100 yards. I don't think this is correct. Would someone please set me straight? Thanks.

That sounds right to me. A 1/2 MOA dot would be .5 inches at 100yards. A .667 dot would be 2/3 of an inch at 100 yards. In other words, the dot would be a little more than 1/8" larger than an 1/2 dot. Unless I'm missing something too.

I have the .667 dots in 2 of my 6.5-20 efrs. I really like them. One of mine has the CPC and the dot. It is my favorite.

It sounds like you want what the Leupold guy called the .667. It seems like Leupold has three dot sizes, .25, .338 and .667, that I think of as "can't see it", "just right" and "covers too much of the target", but your mileage will vary.

Also keep in mind that we are talking about variable power scopes here. It is my understanding that the .0060 dot offered by Leupold substends roughly 3/8 MOA at max power (20x in an efr or 18x in your vx2). As a refrence you can compare with the .0020" dot called their 'target dot' and it's known as the 1/8 MOA dot... .0020(1/8 MOA) x3 = .0060 (3/8 moa). Granted on 6x that same dot WILl be roughly 5/8 moa (.0060").

Did that help?

Also I was told last week that they are now offering the following dots in EITHER a tapered['Leupold'] OR fine cross hair['Target'] configuration (for many years now they have only offered the 'leupold dot' in the larger sizes, now they are offering the larger dot sizes in the 'target dot' {i.e. dot on a fine wire})

.0020
.0035
.0060

FWIW,
