Rifle Scopes Best Scope Tracking Targets (Box to Bench / Horus CATS)

[Cold_Bore_88]

I want to grab a good scope tracking target that has been pre-printed. I found the Horus CATS targets online but can’t find any for sale. Do they still make these?


The second option is box to bench. They make a scope tracking target you setup at 100 yards that works for MIL or MOA?

If you wanted to accurately track in MIL, wouldn’t you have to put the target at 100 meters?

Oh dear god.

Mils has nothing. I mean nothing. To do with meters, centimeters or millimeters.

The CATs targets are lame. @Lowlight targets at Box to bench are awesome and work perfect in mils and yards or MOA and meters.

I use the targets that LL helped design (I think).... bought a bunch through Mile High a few years ago.

Excuse me for asking. Just trying to learn.

Appreciate the feedback though.

I’m totally joking man. Sarcasm is lost in text. The misconception of mils = metric always brings out the troll in you.

Haha! I went and watched a video on it. I get where your coming from now.

Having said all that, I seem to recall specifically that the box to bench tall targets from the hide are setup specifically for Mils at 100 yards.

I just grabbed a Box To Bench Tracking target at the SHC and they have one that is a game to shoot scaled down animals

it's pretty good, and a lot of scopes can't do it.

This is a good way to check your scope out too

The Horus stuff is lame

Just order a ruler that is inches and tenths and you can make your own.

Place target at 100yds. Use a 3ft level and make vertical and horizontal lines. Use the .10 ruler and mark 3.6” interval marks.

Do this for as many mils you want to do, vertically and horizontally.

Done.

Will you be fine if you're a yard or 2 off? My local range has a 100 yard line, but I dont exactly trust the precision of things out there for that

Most guys will buy a 100 yard tape measure and make sure it’s perfect. If you are concerned about you scope beign off by 2% you need your measurements to be exact right?

Being as close to 100m or 100 yards whichever your flavor, is pretty important. If you test at 50m/yrds it’s even more critical. You’ll notice your reticle doesn’t exactly line up with the mil graduations on your target. That’s assuming of course your reticle is accurate to begin with if that makes sense.

I typically use a tape measure.

Sometimes lasers do funny things and can be off a m/yard even at 100.

I’ve used the Horus, it’s “ok”. But I’ve also used my own that I’ve made with a ruler.

I just make mine. I just take a piece of cardboard and tape it to the wall hanging level. Then I draw vertical line making sure its straight and plum.

I draw another horizontal line that’s level at the bottom creating an intersection as my zero. Then I can just line up the reticle with those lines to make sure I don’t have any cant induced into the test.

Mark 3.6” up from zero for as many mils as you want to test. Then just make sure you hang it level at the range.

Thanks Frank. You the man!

To answer your question about the Horus CATS targets, I do not believe they have been made since Horus went belly up and Nightforce bought what was left of it. I guess NF probably owns the right to make some more if they were so inclined. I doubt they will though. It is often hard for a big company to do little things efficiently.
