Weaver K3-60B with R.A. Litschert K4-KV5 ocular on a 'Sporterized' 1893 Spanish

From the Horse’s Mouth-Weaver’s Rangefinding Reticle
….exceptionally fast rangefinding estimator plus holdover mechanism which, you could argue, could kill more deer and faster than many of the most modern methods of today….
From the Horse’s Mouth-Using Your Dual X Reticule as a Rangefinder
