    Rifle Scopes trying to decide on a scope

    Look at a Leupold Mark 4 8.5x25x50 with a tactical reticle. It is an ffp scope with a lifetime warranty. It is under 2K, and I have been thoroughly enjoying shooting one at the range you want to be for several years. I have compared it to other brands of scopes that cost more and have not...

    Range Report scope mil lines for max range holdover distances

    Topstrap, Thanks for the link. As discussed with BapZander, it is going to "favorites." I now have a good layout for my reticle mil lines.

    Range Report scope mil lines for max range holdover distances

    Uncivilized, Will do. I guess low tech/high tech is relative, i.e., stick and dirt, pencil and paper, Mildot Master and ballistics calculator. Thanks for the input,

    Range Report scope mil lines for max range holdover distances

    Re: scope mil lines for max range holdover distances Thanks, I just tried the JBM program but it gives MOA output. I am trying to get the mil output for the mil reticle, e.g., 700 yd zero, top mil line in reticle is 100 yds and bottom mil line in reticle is 1200 yds. If I can figure out how...

    Range Report scope mil lines for max range holdover distances

    I have a scope on a rifle that I shoot in excess of 1000 yards. I know the muzzle velocity fps. I need a calculation that will give me the best zero distance so that I can pickup the gun up and shoot the broadest range of distance just using holdover. The reticle is tacticle mil. Does anyone...

    168 or 175's for Armalite Ar10-T or National Match

    Re: 168 or 175's for Armalite Ar10-T or National Match I hit 3/8-1/2 moa using 168 grain Federal Match King with an Armalite AR-10 with a 24" barrel. I get good results with the 168 at distance also. My AR-10 loves that ammo.

    Fieldcraft Best zero in yard for McMillan Tac-50

    Re: Best zero in yard for McMillan Tac-50 I am wanting to shoot between 1 - 1 1/2 miles. The scope is a Leupold Mark IV 16x40 with a tactical reticle. It has 140 total vertical moa (the reason I bought it) and I believe the scope base is 20 moa.
