2 dead after shooting outside Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas, Nevada
At around 10:40 p.m. two people were shot and killed on the Las Vegas Strip near the Bellagio Fountains. Here's what we know.www.rgj.com
So, they are pushing out of Germany all of their products that we would interested in? Sort of reads that way. Maybe I'm off base.
I do have a few experienced rifle shooting friends with S3's and they like them quite a lot except perhaps for the somewhat strange way to set the zero stop. That line already is sourced out of Germany, no?
Cheers
For all of the reasons you mentioned, I'm not a big fan of BDCs, but I am big fan of ACOGs, so it is what it is on that front. I've had pretty good luck getting the BDC to line up with 55 to 62 grain projectiles out of my 11.5 with stuff other than m193 or m855 using reticles intended for .223. I usually just zero at 300 using the 300 yard hash mark. That pretty much puts me on steel out to distances that I would shoot with those rigs and the more I shoot them, the better I get to know the setup. You can't just throw on the optic, zero at a distance and figure you're good out to X number of yards.In a addition to that, even accommodating a BDC isn't as simple as just zeroing at 50 because the manual said to. As you said, 50/200 almost never works out and chances are you aren't shooting the exact bullet at the exact speed in the same environmentals that the reticle designer input into his program when he spaced his stadia hashes.
I'm a big BDC fan for what I use 5.56 guns for and to get the BDC's to line up out to at least 600 yards (about as far as I find them trustworthy and as far as I need a 5.56 gun to work) I have guns zeroed at all different distances. Note also that most BDC's are designed around 55-62gr bullets going pretty quick. The 69-77gr stuff that most of us are sending out yonder start out with a velocity disadvantage that is eventually cancelled out by the BC advantage. So again, the manual specified 50/200 never works out. I've got BDC equipped guns zeroed from 170-190 and 210-230 yards depending on velocity to get the BDC lined up perfectly, but not a one of them at exactly 200.
But now that I wrote all that out, my more precision oriented guns with mil reticles are all zeroed at 100 for simplicities sake, which is probably more what the OP was asking about.
If you manually set wind, then it will not auto update with streaming. Needs to be set to universal.Using quantum pro combined with calypso AB, 3 targets: 1- 12 o’clock, 2- 3:00, 3- 6:00. Wind from 9:00 oriented to target 1. Wind correction for 1 and 2 agree with kestrel, target 3 should have a 3:00 wind but shows an 8:30 wind. If I manually set wind direction it is fine. What have I got messed up?
