    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST clarity

    I absolutely don't disagree with that at all. I do it on occasion just to remind myself how it works. And it is fun to try to see how close you can get to the real number. But practicality wise - I wouldn't say its the main "reason" to get a MIL dot scope.

    Whatever works for you, go for it. I'm just saying that if you can actually see the shake, or breath or jerkey trigger pull or whatever - you can learn from it and learn how to fix it. If you can't see it, then you can't fix it. And if you can't fix it, then you will never improve and you'll...

    I don't claim to be an expert on this by any stretch of the imagination. But I think the whole "ranging with the reticle" thing is WAY over-stated. The reality is you will likely rarely ever do it unless you are hunting at long ranges or shooting in TAC matches with a lot of UKD and they don't...

    Rifle Scopes The truth about Leupold thread

    OK, so after quickly skimming this 6 page thread..... its seems that the Leupold hate common here on the Hide is among a small vocal minority. It seems most are happy with their Leupys and the CS.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for the right optic for my ~DMR AR-15

    I can't talk to the low light shooting, but I had a 6-24x PST on my precision AR and it looked and worked fine. Its not something I would want to hump across the kyber pass, but it was a nice combo for long range shooting. edit: get the FFP version and MRAD. You'll thank me later. Friends...

    Rifle Scopes New gun/scope/skill

    I would think for pure target shooting - the .308 would be the better bet. Cheaper to shoot, lots of load development, lots of corporate knowledge with that particular system. However, I think for hunting at those longer ranges - the 7mm-08 would seem on paper to be a better caliber. I'll...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce BEAST: The long wait has.......

    Good on NF for wanting to wait to get it right rather than rushing a sub-standard product to market to appease some antsy customers. The long term damage to a company for an inferior product reputation will far outlast delays in shipments or being released on the market. Having said that, it...

    I agree with you about FFP and having more magnification even if you don't use it all the time. Also agree on mirage to a point. However, I hear this a lot that people dial down when shooting at long range "to limit movement". Huh? Just because you don't "see" the crosshair moving doesn't...

    Rifle Scopes Glass or rectical?

    Sorry, wasn't trying to be a dick with the spelling. It's just one of my pet peeve words. I Agree with Phillip61. If its free - use it while you save up for a scope with a mil type reticle. The only downside is you will lose the practice time behind a reticle that you will want to eventually...

    Options for measuring distance

    Google earth does a pretty good job of ranging if you have defined places you can see on the map. I've checked it against known shooting ranges and other areas in the desert I shoot out to 1000+ yards and it will definitely get you in the ballpark. The idea for GPS coords also will work, but...

    The utility of seeing your bullet trace - how do you apply it?

    All good info, but no one has addressed the actual question yet. Strykervet came the closest to what I was getting at. As the shooter, which was the question, how would you use trace if you were by yourself? The genesis of the question came from another poster who said they always shoot in...

    Rifle Scopes My inexpensive way of leveling scopes when mounted. (with pics)

    But I could plumb the scope to the gravity level of the world using the plumb bob hanging from the door trick, but with the rifle sideways. What have I gained? Good on anyone who goes through this exercise. I'm just saying I think its overkill. Get the scope level to the rifle 1st. Then...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST clarity

    My brain just exploded! Correct. Mils are not necessarily metric. It is an angular measurement, just like MOA is an angular measurement. But mils are most often associated with metric. However, it does correspond closely with the metric system in that the normal turret (like on the S&Bs)...
