Vortex VMR-3 MOA
Drawn to scale from Vortex’s own specification sheet, and checked mark by mark by a person. This is the same geometry Harson Ballistics draws your holdover on.
Drawn from Vortex Optics’s published specification.

Subtensions
Published: windage and elevation hashes every 2 MOA, alternating .7 and 1.5 long (the long ones at every 4 MOA); side posts start at 18 and are 1.7 thick; bottom post starts at 30. Drawn, not published (the sheet is to scale): every hash centred on its line and as thick as it; windage hashes to 16, elevation hashes to 28; nothing above centre but the plain line. Posts drawn to 40 MOA (the sheet's frame is 31.3). The red centre dot is illuminated; the sheet draws it 0.40 across, oversized, and the published diameter is recorded. SFP; the sheet states the subtensions 'correspond to 20x magnification' - NOT the 25x maximum - and the record is referenced at 20x. Line .25, centre dot .1.
How this one was checked
Verified 8 Oct 2026 against specs/vortex/VTX_VPR-52503_VMR-3_MOA_RS_I_RI_ST.pdf page 1. Scale 5.75 pt/MOA from the 2 MOA hash pitch, centre (198.0, 221.1); each arm profiled at 0.04 pt with text removed. Measured: line 0.243-0.250 (.25), short / long hashes 0.70 / 1.49 (.7 / 1.5), side posts 18.00 and 1.70 (18 / 1.7), bottom post 30.0 (30); hashes at every 2 MOA to 16 (windage) and 28 (elevation), each centred on the line (offsets under 0.01, no one-sided marks). The one callout that fails is the centre dot, drawn 0.40 across against a published 0.1: the published diameter is recorded (VMR-2 rule). No numerals on this reticle.
