You can use your duplex reticle scope to estimate range. Here is how. first of all you need duplex reticle and a variable power scope.
Put up the width of what you are going to shoot at intervols of 100 yards (or 50 etc). A B27 target would probably work for snipers.
Put your scope at the lowest power.
Starting at your nearest target adjust the power setting until the width is between the duplex. Mark that range on your scope.
Go to the next one and do the same thing.
You could also use the width between the verticle line and the duplex part.
Also knowing the of a given object and where it sits in your duplex can be used as well.
Another variation is using the height of a given object and using the duplex in that manner.
I'm not claming this is a perfict system or that it is as good as a mil dot, but its about knowing how to use the equiptment you have. Not wishing for equiptment you don't have. Hope this helps, and I didn't confuse you too much.
