Re: Fast on Steel Dont get a BDC scope, get a mil dot or moa reticle scope. Nightforce 2.5-10 in mil dot reticle will do fine.

Re: To MOA base or Not to MOA base...that is the ? So long as you have at least 40moa of total elevation, put a 20moa base on. If you have less than 40moa of total elevation, and want to shoot out to 1000 yards, you will have to accept that you wont be able to get a 100 yard zero with a...

Re: Hendoldt or S&B Schmidt & Bender or a Hensoldt? Isn't that like trying to choose between Megan Fox or Emma Stone? The only thing better than either one, would be BOTH!

Re: S&B 4-16 turret measurement At 100m, 0.1 milliradian distends to 1cm At 200m, 0.1 milliradian distends to 2cm . . . At 1000m, 0.1 milliradian distends to 10cm So they are equivalent. It is more correct to use milliradian though because .1mil is only equavalent to 1cm at 100m.

Re: Best reticle for calculating distance .1 mil off at 1000meters is 100 meters off. .1 mil off at 500 meters is 50 meters off. .01 mil off at 1000 meters is 10 meters off. .01 mil off at 500 meters is 5 meters off. etc

Re: MIL or MOA The good thing about moa is that for group size at 100 yards 1moa is 1", at 200 yards, 1moa is 2" on out to 1000 yards 1moa is 10". Also, with a 308, round ball, at 10mph crosswind and 100 yards crosswind correction is 1moa, at 10mph crosswind and 200 yards crosswind...

Re: 20 MOA rail, causing my rifle to shoot very high It may be that you have the zero stop adjusted way high. Adjust your zero stop all the way down (which is actually screwed out all the way, I believe, not absolutely sure). I'll bet its the zero stop. Your scope has 100moa of adjustment...

Re: Tikka T3 Barrel Length - 24" or 20.5"?? BTW is a Tikka T3 in 308 short action or long action?

Re: LENS CLEANING - - SAFE SOLUTIONS Every time you rub the lens you risk scratching it. Just blow the dust off and resist the urget to clean it. Should be ok unless you got some serious mud or dirt on there.

Re: Whats the best scope to fight MIRAGE? Also, if you are shooting long distance, like 1000 yards, and you have a scope that has focusable parallax, you can focus on the mirage, say at 500 yards and look at the mirage. People do this to judge the wind as the wind will blow the mirage right...

Re: Whats the best scope to fight MIRAGE? One thing you can do, if rules and time allow, is mount a spotting scope on the target and reference it. It does not move because it is clamped down. When the spotting scope is on the bullseye, mirage is not affecting things so you are good to shoot...

Re: Good starter scope? I have shot out to 1200 yards with my 3x-9 Nikon Buckmaster. It has 80moa of elevation adjustment which is plenty. Glass is clear.

Re: Could this be a problem? (or am I paranoid) You need to do a box test. Actually, you probably need to do two or three box tests until you get consistency. Do it at 100 yards.

Re: FFP.....is it worth money Sometimes it is difficult to aquire the target. Dialing down the magnification will usually help. When you dial down the magnification and have FFP, holding for windage or movers will be the same for any magnication. That is the advantage of FFP. The...

Re: Concern with windage and elevation adjustments If this were true, it would be reflected in the box tests that are frequently done on scopes. I suggest you give your scope a box test, and maybe a MODIFIED box test to see if you can find this problem in real world performance.

Re: What would a NF 5-25 bring to the table? If it doesn't get me on the leader board, I will be wanting my money back!!!

Re: NP-r1 reticle ? Even easier, just take your answer in yards and convert it to meters by subtracting 10%. So if you have 600 yards, it is 540 meters.

Re: first range report of the new sako trg The way people accidently shoot over the berm is to put the rifle away after shooting at 1000 yards without resetting the scope to zero. Then later, take the rifle out and crank it back to the nearest zero, putting the scope off by maybe several full...

Re: nightforce clicks accuracy 1/2 of 1% is not much. You could easily be off that much on your distance from the target unless you used a known accurate tape measure. Lots of ranges are off a bit. One percent is all you can expect IMO. In 25moa of elevation 1% would be one, 1/4moa click...

Re: leupold mark 4 lr/t If you shoot long range you want a scope with a zero stop. The reason is, someday you will forget which turn you are on, get mixed up and be off by a full turn. Not does this make you miss your target, it is potentially dangerous because you miss your backstop...
