    Bino grats. We use them just as a handy map-reading and spotting tool. They are 1/4 degree's apart and high so that it's a simple matter to say to the shooter (or mortars) that '....you're a 1/2 and degree left and 1/4 degree short'. It is usually marked on the ocular plate but probably covered in years of paint. I'll get a pair out of our G-10 stores on Tuesday and let you have the real answer instead of the usual old rubbish................
