    308 DMR optics

    I think it was you who said you could see the stadia and center dot of a .03 mil reticle on 3x, well good on yuh, but that's just about unthinkable for the state of my vision. I don't know about you but I have to dial the diopter nearly a 1/4" out from full in to see the reticle focused and I...

    308 DMR optics

    My March shorty DFP has a small-ish illuminated dot and it's easy to see at 1x in normal lighting during the day and I can still mostly see it in bright sunlight but it needs a tad bit brighter illume nevertheless IMHO. At least it's DFP which helps a lot.

    308 DMR optics

    Yesterday I got out my S&B 5-25/H59, also my Athlon Helos G2 4-20/APRS6, both at .05 mil reticle thickness as well as the center dot, and had a tough time seeing the reticle well on lowest magnification. I couldn't see the center dots but at 6x for the H59, and 5x for the HG2 I could make it out...

    I imagine so.

    SAUM help choosing.

    There was a guy here on SH that built a 22 Saum. He used a slower twist barrel with the plan of using IIRC 69-77 grainers around 4000 fps??. I doubt the throat hung in there very long but in the meantime he had successful long range videos thwacking wood chucks. I'm guessing JMW also has a...

    Is it possible to become a really skilled long range shooter with a semi-auto?

    I got to thinking about it and there were some stages at the Scorehigh Challenge in NM around that same time frame that favored a semi. One in particular was a IIRC a 100-ish mover. You'd get a higher score if you hit the A zone in the head and less if you hit anywhere else on the head. If you...

    favorite long range caliber

    It's a Surgeon XL, 9 twist Bartlein, at 29". I use 60.9gr Retumbo, Fed215, BUT I'm shooting out of a long action with the throat farther out and significantly longer OACL.

    First precision 22 - go big or go home?

    Better put some pics up to get the OP all softened up to let go of his $$$$.

    favorite long range caliber

    I don't quite understand exactly why (maybe projectiles didn't transition to subsonic well) but a guy I used to know back then who had a Windrunner 50BMG using 750gr AMAX handloads had trouble hitting a 27" plate by 1900Y, and by 2100Y he couldn't hit it. Meanwhile during the same outing I...

    favorite long range caliber

    Not me. 1000Y and less just a good old 6mmBR with 107's. Currently past that 6.5 Saum with 140 hybrid at 3240 fps. I hit a 18" plate at 1987Y, 2 out of 4 tries. When my Wildcat 30-375R barrel was shooting good the 230's at 2935 fps did better. Had a 375CT back when it was a Wildcat like...

    First precision 22 - go big or go home?

    If I were to buy any 22rf rifle right now it'd be this. I'd have someone make a lower "thumb tab extension", puts some weights on it for balancing on a bag, and that's it. BTW my 1827F is the most reliable 22rf I've ever come across.

    308 DMR optics

    If it's a heavy range gun then getting a heavier scope and more magnification can be a good thing. More weight = less felt recoil. Only to the vehicle and back then that's fine. Otherwise if hunting buy something with a thicker reticle. I'll be getting a Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15 in a month or...

    Is it possible to become a really skilled long range shooter with a semi-auto?

    A semi can allow one to be more accurate(not to be confused with precision) than a bolt gun sometimes. On a windy day when the three of us were shooting a 1.5 moa steel at 1000Y my two friends were shooting bolt guns, one a 30-06 custom with 210's, and the other a 6.5 PRC with 147's. I was...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I'd be fine using that reticle in a 3-18.

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    What's the magnification range of each scope and for each reticle? Edit, I have the Mildot3 .5 mil hash reticle in my Meopta Optika 6 5-30x56. It's on the thicker side for a 5-30 at .05 mil. The center cross is .4 mil, the mildots are .2 mil, and the hashes are .25 mil wide, those make it...

    The APRS6 has a .05 mil center dot and .03 mil reticle thickness.

    It would bring world peace and would do the trick here.

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    I already have a .05 mil thick reticle and nope it's not gonna work at 3x because it doesn't work at 5x. This is not with daylight bright illume. Yeah if it was daylight bright illume one is just about assuredly going to see the reticle on low magnification if at .06-.07 mil thick. Just...
