This what I get for doing this in pieces at work. Consider it deleted.

No I didn't make that assumption or statement. Saying the 1 Mil = 10cm in not saying Mils are Metric. Just as 1 MOA = 1.047 inches is not stating Minutes as standard measurement. If you open up a manual to either MOA or MRAD optic, they will give you the exact formulas I've stated.

You're not kidding...jesus

Yes it would be relative the thickness of the lines, however, I haven't seen any reticles like I described with lines that as thick or more than a mildot which I understand to be .2mils. I have spent a lot of time on the site. Again, this was just an effort to give a simple simple method for...

Ok I'm going to try and respond to all of your posts. If I miss something, sorry. First, sorry for messing up the math, as I stated I messed up on the part that deemed more difficult. However, not being in the same zipcode is a little excessive. It was simply not divided down properly. It has...

Also, I meant to add that as you understand this metric usage with mils, you'll see streamlined easy ways to jump to your answer instead of the long math I wrote out above. Example put a decimal in your distance and that's the click value on your optic. 369 meters = 3.69cm per click. 455 meters...

Short V Long Action So I've seen a lot of reference to short and long actions. I did some searching and have a slight idea as to the difference. But I'm still clueless as to the pros and cons of each outside of preferences like movement required in action. Also, when selecting off the shelf...

Thanks Johnny, I haven't had the opportunity to fire it a lot, the only time I have has been at the above mentioned 112yds. I didn't see a lot of variation with barrel temp at that distance. I did shoot a 300 winmag next to it that was all over the place after the barrel got warm. Granted both...

About .2 seconds after I posted I realized how vague a question that was. I mean more accurately differences in say the Remington Target tactical, VTR, and the XCR Tactical Long Range. Outside of the stock these things sit on, magazine types, and other minor differences. What in the capabilities...

Thanks Matt. That is one of my concerns, I have a Sako .243 heavy barrel. My concern with it was wind drift at greater distances, as well as over all weight, the hardwood stock and heavy barrel together make for a lot of weight. Are the Remington any heavier of a barrel?

I'm a new member on here, I'm a former Marine 03. I've been getting more and more into distance precision shooting. I've always hunted, had guns around and shot frequently for recreation, but have been taking my marksmanship much more seriously the last year and want to keep on it. I am looking...
