    SAI 1-6 7.62 BDC to MRAD (conversion)

    Get a piece of cm square graph paper with every 5 squares colored red (so you have a reference) and put it at 25 meters. Every square is 0.4 Mil. count the squares between subtends. Done. Edit, you can also put the graph paper at 20m (21 yds, 2 ft, 7 inches) and have every square be 0.5 Mil...

    Reticle canted?

    If the reticle tracks in line with the crosshair, that's not a scope issue, it's a flats issue.

    New Kahles K328i

    On a red dot, your field of view is obstructed by the housing of the dot. A K16i or K18i is very similar to this, with the field of view through the scope basically matching what you see absent an optic, with little obstruction to the non-shooting eye. The K18i-2's field of view is so wide...

    Need info for understanding ranges and magnifications on a SFP scope

    Magnification has absolutely zero impact on point of aim/point of impact relationships when you are shooting at your zero. Your zero distance also has nothing to do with where your shots are, it should be purely determined by the capabilities of your scope to correct for distance, and the...

    Need info for understanding ranges and magnifications on a SFP scope

    1. Spend the money and get this exposed dialing turret for the scope: https://www.eurooptic.com/Kahles-K18i-2-K18i-K16i-Ballistic-Turret-30210.aspx 2. Learn your holds in mils. It's worth taking the time to chronograph your rifle and set it up properly in a ballistic calculator to have this...

    Zero or 20 moa rail needed for 6.5 CM

    A 20 MOA rail is only needed if you have an alignment error or are dialing for distance. It is completely irrelevant to holding.

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    I'd feel pretty good with my K18i-2 on a16" suppressed 556 AR.

    Zero Stop loses elevation in scope

    Generally speaking, a scope on a 0 MOA base will zero near optical center, and for every 20 MOA in your base you'll be around that far below optical center. Bore offset is minimal, however having a suppressor on your rifle can be a good sized shift. Where you happen to be when you start is...

    Zero Stop loses elevation in scope

    Every 20 MOA is equal to 5.88 mil, so a 40 MOA mount will be about 12 mil below center.

    US Tangent 7-35 owners request

    Their website lists the FOV at 35x as 1.08m @ 100m, which is 10.8 mils, so you should have 5.4 center to edge.

    Zero Stop loses elevation in scope

    Any scope that is able to dial through the full range of adjustment with a multi-rotation turret will lose elevation when the zero stop is set. Any Scope. The manufacturer is giving you the full range of adjustment. With a 0 MOA mount you will get roughly 1/2 of the total range. With a 20...

    Scope power setting ??

    Shoot prone, bipod/bag in the front, bag in the back. Use max power on your scope. The reason most shooters are using the medium power band of their scopes when doing positional/field shooting is to be able to have enough field of view in the scope to spot their own shots in the scope. When...
