    Range Report Spindrift Calculation??

    Rifle Scopes FFP ranging reticle with static-size cross-hair? Any interest?

    Re: FFP ranging reticle with static-size cross-hair? Any interest? I guess alot depends on what you use the reticle for just how handy certain features are. Some of course will depend on how well ya can range guess with the mil/moa system. Havin the hash system extend to the edges of the len...
