The subtensions are equispaced so it's a fairly simple matter to calibrate the reticle in Chairgun. Have to then validate the predicted holdovers with actual shooting so it's not an issue in my opinion.I'm giving it a try.
The reason I brought up the reticle is I purchased the CenterPoint Spectrum 4-12 x 44 first focal plane scope. The scope is worth the money in every regard except the reticle. The reticle cannot be explained by anyone including Crossman.

I seriously appreciate a bargain on glass or anything else for that matter. The reason I brought up the reticle is I purchased the CenterPoint Spectrum 4-12 x 44 first focal plane scope.

After reading the reviews, I purchased knowing the reticle was a mystery but I would figure it out. Nope! LOL... The clicks are 1/4 MOA and the hold under was mildot (my assumption) so judging by the spacing, the first hold over would be about 1.5 mils. You know what they say about assuming. I zeroed 40 yards @850 fps. On impact, the first hold over was closer to 7 MOA. What? I thought this has got to be an optical illusion. So I dialed it in counting clicks up to 7 MOA and sure enough, that was close to first hold over. Pretty useless from 40 to 70 yards without counting clicks. And for the second hold over? Bwahaha!! But if anyone knows the Spectrum reticle, please let me in on it..Just sharing my school of hard knocks … If the reticle is not detailed in the product literature, I pass!! (Geese I'm glad they let us modify our posts. It would have been really embarrassing if I did not correct my goofs)..Cheers
Just received the scope. First impressions are good. The sight picture is clear all the way to the edges and it's quite bright at full magnification. The reticle is suitably fine at full magnification...should be just fine for precision shooting. Some FFPs get too thick at high magnification. That means it gets really small at low magnification but that won't bother me. The illumination is just the dot in the middle. I thought that was weird at first but I think I'm going to like it. Many scopes are so bright at night, even on their lowest setting, that they wash out visibility of the target. This one won't do that.If focuses clearly at full magnification at 12 yards. A bit blurry at 10 yards.
