    Mil / MOA calculation. Yes, again....

    For the metric approach, I think it may pay to skip the centimetres. Go straight to millimetres. 1 milliradian is in millimetres on the target, what the range is in meters. So at 100 metres, 1 milliradian is 100 mm. At 758 meters, 1 milliradian is 758 millimetres. (So 1 click on most mil...

    Rifle Scopes Mrad IS Meteric

    We have identified – as per some previous posts – an area of potential confusion in the 'degree based' scopes pertaining to true minutes versus iphy. So here's a question for the scopy scientists among us. Are metric (:p) scopes calibrated based on true trigonometric mrads – of which there are...

    Rifle Scopes Is the Bushnell Elite ERS that much better than the DMR G2?

    For those desperate for zero-stop, it may be possible to make it. Zero Stop for Bushnell Elite 10x mildot tactical scope - YouTube

    Rifle Scopes Mrad IS Meteric

    Not if he used a 5.56 That's only out by one decimal. Now if he used a .223 it would have been a different story.

    Tripod and mount for spotting scope recommendations

    Better than the picture might suggest, but some caution may be advisable. To be safe, it would benefit from putting something like a daypack on the outer leg. That said, it will not fall over by itself. I need to tip it so the outer leg lifts some 60mm (~2") off the deck to reach the tipping...

    Tripod and mount for spotting scope recommendations

    So I pulled the trigger on the MeFOTO Daytrip. I like it. Reasonably firm for the size and weight. It vibrates a little bit if I tap it, but most of that appears to be in the relatively soft rubber feet. I like the simplicity of the ball head, and it holds the weight of the spotter nicely.

    Tripod and mount for spotting scope recommendations

    TO 8217, That is the Mefoto Daytrip I am eyeing up right now. But with the standard head on it. See here: MeFOTO DayTrip Mini Tripod Kits Do you find the tripod stable enough for that spotter?

    Rifle Scopes MOA

    I do. But I have to walk the first 200. And I have trained my dog to take the bullet the last 1300, so it ends up at 300. No other way to do it, given the limitations of a 178 inch objective lens with a magnification of 69 degrees Celsius. And Understated_in_Accuratestorytelling must be 18...

    Rifle Scopes MOA

    Quoted from Understated_in_Accuracy, emphases mine: Understated_in_Accuracy, it seems to me that your understanding of scopes and your understanding of ballistics (trajectory etc.) is confused to the point that you erroneously think that one affects the other. The angle of elevation...

    Rifle Scopes MOA

    Please help us bring back the Moas! - YouTube It all depends on the size of the Moa. And that is - as of yet - virtually undetermined.

    Maggie’s The Imperial-Measurement system

    We're pretty much metric in NZ.....except on rifle ranges. The gate to any rifle range is like a time machine. And - strangely - people's weights are often still communicated in stones (what ever the metric fuck that is).

    Always MIL vs MOA EXCEPT group size?

    I use MIL for group sizes. But only to myself as I'm the only one who understands me. :p

    Rifle Scopes High magnification scope owners, what power do you use 100 to 1000 yards?

    I have the same scope (SWFA 5-20) and a Bushnell 6-24. I use both at around 12 X +/- 2 from 100 to 1000. I only crank them up if I want to see holes in the paper.

    Rifle Scopes TA31RCOA4 use on a 16" AR 15

    Out to 300 yards you would hardly be using the bdc anyway. Depending on how you use it –and on how accurate you need to be – you may be best served to zero it in at around 200 to 250 yards and just use the tip of the spear. The scope is (as you probably know) calibrated for a 20" barrel, M855, 1...

    Rifle Scopes How have the k624i Kahles been holding up?

    Either that or a mistake in the conversions / target set-out....perhaps.

    Range Report JBM dope card is screwing with me. Starting to get frustrated! What am I missing!?!

    Fantastic. I have struggled with this for a while. I use the simplified JBM calcs. So just to be absolutely utterly totally unconditionally indisputably unambiguously sure: If I fill in the 'default' pressure of 29.92, and the altitude, I should tick the 'std atmosphere at altitude' box...

    Rifle Scopes How much magnification needed?

    I had a 2.5 to 10 Kahles (OK, fantastic glass) for close to ten years, and have never not been able to spot .223 holes in white paper at 200m. I now have a 5 to 20 on that rifle and have spotted .30 holes at 450m. OK, favourable conditions. To spot holes the size of a small truck, 7x out of...

    15-45 or 20-60 spotting scope

    I too am looking at forking out some cash on a spotter, and I too am trying to make sense of the pros and cons of the different eye pieces. (I'm looking at a second hand Nikon Fieldscope 60mm with a fixed 30). Based on what I've learned so far from fellow shooters and the all-knowing internet...
