    Rifle Scopes What Zero distance is best?

    When I first posted my question, the only reason that I could think of to the contrary for choosing a 100 yard zero, was that if you were to zero, either at, or more towards the middle of the maximum range you planned on shooting at, that you would be able to reduce the number of physical clicks...

    Rifle Scopes What Zero distance is best?

    Thanks for the suggestion Robert. When I said ELR, I meant that in context to my rifle/cartridge, where I want to push the limits. For sake of my understanding, if my setup isn't considered capable of ELF, what does constitute ELF? Sheesh, I hope I'm not opening up another can of worms with...

    Rifle Scopes What Zero distance is best?

    redmanss, thanks for your reply and the definitions (something I did not know and is great to know). In what you said you bring up a very good point which definitely affects my decision to choose 100 yards as my "zero" point. The reason for that choice becomes clear now for a couple of...

    Rifle Scopes What Zero distance is best?

    Yes choover23, that is my biggest regret about my scope, not having the zero stop. Regarding the discussion dope and zero. Personally I was not confused by that, I realized the distinction there. While granted it may not be best practice to use a common term to signify another meaning, I...

    Rifle Scopes What Zero distance is best?

    Wow, here I checked in hoping to see a reply. Be careful what you ask for I guess. Thanks guys. My scope is the Benchrest model with an NP-R2 reticle. 2moa elevation/5moa windage. 1/8 moa clicks for both. Caps. I wish it had zero stops but it doesn't. I may change my mind later, but I...

    Rifle Scopes What Zero distance is best?

    Howdy, I thought that some of you may have different perspectives on what distance is best to zero on that you may feel like sharing. I will be shooting a Savage model 10 BA rifle with a Nightforce 8x32 56 scope. That said, what factors does one consider to determine the distance for their...

    Hello from sunny CA

    Hello again Cartman, Wow, you bring up some things I hadn't thought about. The radio snooping indeed could lead to exactly what you described. Yikes. The thing about lodging a complaint is that this all happened about six years ago. My actions in response to what happened for all I know may...

    Hello from sunny CA

    Cartman-- Yes, he used his radio and apparently whomever he was speaking to did a search and I suppose that the records verified that I was the legal registered owner of my rifle. Basically I was with 5 guys and about 15 various rifles and hand guns. My rifle was the only one that he focused...

    Hello from sunny CA

    Hello again Cartman. Hey, thanks for those links. I will read up on them latter tonight, but likely even more importantly I'll print and carry them with me, (perhaps my get out of jail free card). You pretty much hit the nail on the head, that is the worry, an over zealous LOA that doesn't...

    Hello from sunny CA

    FF, yes and no. The things that have changed I believe are just a reflection of population growth and immigration. My town was historically part of the citrus belt. My pastime back in the day, once I got my drivers license was to cruse through the orange grove back roads. I loved doing that...

    Hello from sunny CA

    Thanks M40 for the reply and advice. I know how you feel man. Here is what really concerns me about the law enforcement community. I know a deputy sheriff and talked to him about this issue. He has been a cop for many years and has worked for and with many agencies. He told me that what can...

    Hello from sunny CA

    Hello pattimusprime and thanks for the welcome. Same to you bud. Hey, I know how you feel about being hesitant to head out there to the desert. The rub is, where in SoCal is there a +1,000 yrd. Range? And even if there is one, which I certainly don't know about if there is, after you shoot...

    Hello from sunny CA

    Hello Kreeper, thanks for the welcome and right back atcha. DOJ... at that time the biggest thing I had to do was to go get fingerprinted. So wow, you were interviewed? How did that go?

    Hello from sunny CA

    Hi Cartman, I'm going down the list here and see it was you who advised against speaking politics, as I mentioned that in my last reply. That is sound advice probably world wide! I will heed it. First off I would like to thank you for making me feel welcome, I appreciate that bud. As for the...

    Hello from sunny CA

    Hey Blair, unfortunately I just don't see it getting any better out here. Sheesh, the irony of it is every time Diane Feinstein or potus open their pie hole to even mention gun legislation it results in the gun industry making a few more billion dollars. Upon joining here I was advised to stay...

    Hello from sunny CA

    Hey Dogtown, yeah, that is pretty much me. I try as best I can to keep the emotion out of it, and focus on what my goal is. Initially it was to keep my beloved Rifle. Especially as that's the only material thing I have from my dear friend Larry that passed away due to cancer. It would have...

    Hello from sunny CA

    17874, I know that I'm able to possess the 30 rounders, BUT I think the law states you have to have the receipts. Like yeah right. My friend gave them to me when I bought the rifle from him over 20 years ago for crying out loud. This one is a matter of picking one's battles. Not that big of...

    Stolen Rifle in Portland, OR, July 26/27 2013 (Defiance, Vortex, Mcree, 6SLR)

    Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get it back soon. Stealing someone's hard earned property is about as low as it gets. Feel bad for you man.

    Range Report Crono necessary?

    I got to thinking some more about how to prepare for using software without a crono. If I was to visit the range without a crono, find that I'm hitting low, what am I going to do? Just start throwing random numbers into my ballistic software's mv field and hope for the best? So what I came up...
