Bushnell SportView: Dual crosshair distance
Gentlemen!
Not far ago I acquired a used and cheappo Bushnell SportView 3x9x40 riflescope with dual crosshair, if that's a correct name. Basically the reticle has one vertical and two horizontal lines. Because I have no papers for it, and it's a discontinued product, I was hoping to learn from you who had experience with this model, what a hell is a covered elevation (in MOA or inches) between those 2 horizontal lines at 100 yards.
Thank you very much in advance!

I'm not sure but you might call Bushnell customer service at 1-800-423-3537. They might be able to help you there. I have seen this scope but I'm not sure how it works

The most accurate way to determine this would be to shoot it at the top line, then the bottom one and see where it hits.
Best to let the barrel cool before the second test.0 -
Having just finished Elmer Keith's book "Hell, I Was There!", I have some fresh insight as he claimed to have invented the system for Bushnell. If the firearm is using bullets that are in the 2800-3000 fps range, with the regular crosshair centered at 100 yds, the lower crosshair is on target at 300 yds, +-. [:)]

That's a great read, isn't it? I have read a lot of old Elmer's stuff, and he was on the cutting edge for years. There is still a lot to be learned from his writings, whether you believe everything he says about what he did or not.
I have rafted the Salmon in the same area Keith used to run. If he ran that river in high water in those old wooden punts he surely had brass ones! And that country is still pretty wild. I almost stepped on a buzzworm the first night out while barefooting around our camp. Gave me real pause to consider just how far from help we were if I had been bitten. My friends are experienced raftsmen and outdoorsmen, and I have been a ski patroller for many years; we had good first aid supplies, including a snakebite kit, but no anti-venom. It would have been two or three hard days down to the next ranch, unless a jet boat happened upstream. I was more careful after that experience, believe me.

Thank you Gentlemen!

Yes, redcedars, he certainly makes for interesting reading!
I grew up on his articles and those of Warren Page, plus all the other classic writers of the time. Figured I'd take the middle ground between Keith and Page and stick with the 30-06, .300 H&H, etc for my hunting needs. Later, drifted on to the smaller, faster calibers. Coming full circle, I'm now into the .375 Win, 45-70 Gov't, etc. Guess I just like'um all!! [:D]
