Re: Mixing mil-dot and MOA reticles and knobs I'm figuring out the stuff I have now thanks to a lot of comments and info from you blokes. Yep, matching stuff is good and since I got roped in by the fancy wording without looking into optics first, I've figured it out. I have started to write...

Re: Mixing mil-dot and MOA reticles and knobs Hey ilmonster, regarding: Found a Vortex 5-15 HS scope on MidwayUSA (looks like a Midway exclusive) that is Mil-Mil for around $500 that looks interesting for my uses, although I'm wondering if that variable range of 5-15x might be too long for...

Re: Mixing mil-dot and MOA reticles and knobs Hey man, let me take a look at that. not to be a smartass and dump my problem scope on you, it just doesn't do what I want, but maybe after all these posts and you only wanting to shoot 300 yards I can make you a fantastic deal on what I have...

Re: Mixing mil-dot and MOA reticles and knobs Eric, feel free to help me out here for the benifit of others if you want, and I'm still interested to see if you have any ideas for me. I reckon its stupid that they are allowed to make them that way, but in some respects it promotes...

Re: Opinions on the best tripod where are you in Australia mate?

Re: Mixing mil-dot and MOA reticles and knobs Mate, I wasnt too worried about ranging, I wanted to set up a dope card for my loads and poked it all into one of them programs, until I realized several rounds later that even though I could use the mildot, I had to deal with IPHY turrets and was...

Re: Mixing mil-dot and MOA reticles and knobs Guys, where were all you when I had the same questions? My post, the only guy that was of any real use was CoryT from gunsiteacademy...... I don't know how to link the post, but you blokes seem to have made it plain as day. the other blokes on my...

Re: OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101" OK, nothing like a little research and good advice. My scopes: Cheap, but not the cheapest first focal plane mildot reticle IPHY turret So, regardless, Called them and the manufacturer cannot guarantee or state that the reticle and the...

Re: OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101" Cory, thanks for your help mate. I know now that the graduations in the reticle may not match the turrets in cheaper scopes so It will be your advice I take and I have figured out mil and moa and it's a hell of a lot easier to compensate in...

Re: OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101" Mate, on the subject of wasting time, I think I wasted yours by forgetting to mention that I have 2 scopes on 2 different rifles. one is 1/8 and the other is 1/4. I guess if you can find me one that has both I'm sure they made it that way for...

Re: OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101" think I've got my head round it a lot more than i did 2 days ago. love to come out there and get it in person.

Re: OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101" Yeah, I see whats going on now. I know the software is out there and I love to use it, but Corey I've been a mechanic for 25 years and have been in many a situation where the book aint there and no computers around. You're right, once I...

Re: OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101" All this I know. my turrets read 1/8"@100yards per click and 1/4"@100yards per click. And the reticle is a mildot. I guess a mildot space is only a mil or moa at a certain magnification and range. so thats why I'm not worried about them...

Re: PTS Precision Rifle Class Oct-13,14 unfortunately the range facilities are numbered and nothing outside of 300 nearby. where I am located it is rural. my neighbour has land that I have ranged out to 500 yards on with natural backstop and could easily range out to 1200-1500 it is...

Re: PTS Precision Rifle Class Oct-13,14 Sir, can you recomend anybody in the kansas city area with a class and facility. or can anybody else make a suggestion.

Re: OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101" Cory, this is what a poorman like me uses for a scope. the reason I got so far out of wack on this is maybe too much thinking and not enough practice, but its all i can do to go over the the neighbours back 40 with what I can afford to reload...

Re: OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101" Corey, thanks, but when you talk about dialing more moa as you reach out, this gets confusing when you relate to mil and inches. Because if one assumes u have 3.6 at 100 and 1 moa being the inch, at 200 you are dialing 2moa and 300 dialing...

Re: OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101" Me again, This is from the Millett Gunsight Academy! Quote: Let's say you fire a shot at a target 300 yards away, and it impacts 15 inches low. = 5 MOAs15 (inches)3 (hundred yards) see this is all great, but LETS SAY I did drop a round...

I went from open sight to scope! So I figure out the basics and nail a 500 yard target BY AIMING ABOUT 65 INCHES ABOVE THE DAMN THING. AFTER I SAID FUCK IT WITH READING UP ON EVERYBODY'S LONG WINDED CONFUSING INSTRUCTIONS ON LONG RANGE INCREMENTAL DOPING. so: - 1 milradian = .0573 degree - 1...
