    how many mils in a mil dot?

    Alright guys, ive got another question. Im looking at getting my next scope in the MRAD reticle along with 1/10 mil turrets. My question is can I use the MRAD reticle like I use my mildot reticle to figure my range? As far as mildot or hashmark height goes?

    how many mils in a mil dot?

    Thanks for all the good info guys, glad to know I was on the right track as far as quick hold overs go regarding mil dots and mil values with my data. Appreciate everything, including the link to the visual breakdown of the reticle. Im more of a visual learner and that helped more than anything.

    South of batesville here. I've been to VETS and helped run a youth shooting sports comp there but never shot it. I prolly will now though. ;)

    how many mils in a mil dot?

    And by re-mil'd it I mean that I took a better estimation of target height in mil dots and re worked the formula. My apologies for not being clear or using improper terminology.

    how many mils in a mil dot?

    I agree 2yds isn't going to cut it, but this is simply my friend and I practicing reading range with a mil dot reticle and justifying it with a range finder. The closest dedicated rifle range is more than 100 miles from where I live and I don't have the time or ability to really practice. These...

    how many mils in a mil dot?

    Ah! Yes I have checked with a buddies range finder and with the best of my abilities to mil it out correctly and my 2nd grade math skills I'm around +\- 2yards off in most cases. When I wasn't I re-mil'd it and was back within +\- 2yards.

    Not to sound to ignorant but I don't understand what you mean?

    how many mils in a mil dot?

    0311 Hesco, that's exactly what I meant, that the mil system makes math easier, not necessarily more precise. I knew my scope right now is SFP and that its only accurate ranging on 12x, but I didn't know about the half power ranging by doubling the mils. That's some interesting stuff.

    how many mils in a mil dot?

    Alright, it already sounds and feels like a stupid question but I'm having trouble with this. I've always shot a mil dot reticle but with MOA turrets and have decided to go to mil turrets in the 1/10th style clicks for the extra precision. My question is really a matter of validation for...

    Gunsmithing Remington 788

    I think I've decided to just bed the factory stock. Right now I'm slightly higher than 1in at 100yards so I'm hoping bedding it will go ahead and bring that down. I'm no BR shooter and that's definitely good enough for minute of coyote to me. I'll probably save up my money and get a McMillan...

    Ideas for ultimate work/reloading bench

    Yep, couldn't agree more. Equal lives, equal decisions, equal happiness. Momma aint happy aint nobody happy. lol I really like the mulitpress setup but I do worry that it might get cluttered up quick if you had a lot goin on. Regardless all of them are true inspiration for my future bench.

    Gunsmithing Remington 788

    Thanks for the info. I'll look into that. I had given some thought to just dealing with the weight and bedding the stock.

    Gunsmithing Remington 788

    So Ive got a Remington 788 hand-me-down in 22-250 that my dad gave me. I use it for coyotes and they can agree, its a tack drive. Only complaint Ive got is that its heavy and kinda ugly. Its already got what I would call a varmint contour barrel which has a lot of weight, but surprisingly the...

    Ideas for ultimate work/reloading bench

    That is true inspiration! I plan on making something like that. Got just the spare room to do it in too. Wife already said she wouldn't be using it. Looks like I got a new reloading/ gun room. ;)

    Help hiding my scope

    Easy Jig Stick, I think I see where your headin with that. Im just out for hunting coyotes and in all honestly I think im stuck in tacticool land. I figured it wouldn't matter much when it comes to hunting but its a lot like a ghillie suit I guess. Not overly practical given all the types of...

    Help hiding my scope

    Anybody got a general rule of thumb? My scope is a 4-12x40mm. Would a 2inX1in square work?

    Help hiding my scope

    LOL Thanks MtnCreek, I had actually thought about doin that. How much do you sacrifice as far as field of view goes?

    Help hiding my scope

    I looked at the ARD but Im a bit of a cheap bastage. Wanted to see if there was anything I could do on the fly to take care of it. Im not necessarily hiding it from anything in particular, but its annoying when I set everything up, stand back 50-60 yrds and cant even tell where my hide is at...

    Help hiding my scope

    I appreciate all the good advice im getting. although I think yall misunderstand what Im asking. I can hide the length of my scope fine, what Im wanting to hide is the black hole you see where my lens is when you look right at me.
