    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...

    Rifle Scopes Mixing mil-dot and MOA reticles and knobs

    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...

    Rifle Scopes Mixing mil-dot and MOA reticles and knobs

    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...

    Range Report OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101"

    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...

    Range Report OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101"

    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...

    Range Report OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101"

    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...

    Range Report OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101"

    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...

    Range Report OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101"

    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...

    Range Report OK guys, time for "SCOPE DOPE FOR DUMMIES 101"

    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...
