Hey guys, this is my first post but I have been on here a good bit for a few years now just gathering/learning info. My first question is this….
How does the 10x Unertl elevation knob work?
The top part I know is marked in 100 Yard increments to 1000y, but are there 1 MOA adjustments also in between each 100 yard increment marked on the dial?
Like a M3A or do you rely on the vaneer ring to make the necessary ½ MOA adjustments to get on target? So, would you adjust like example 1 or 2?
1. Target is 550 yards away, place the elevation dial on 5+3 (~550 yard setting like a M3A) and fire. Hit. If need to adjust the Vaneer ring to get dead center of target.
2. Or…Target is 550 yards away, set elevation dial on 5 (because it can only be set on “5” or “6”) and adjust the Vaneer ring up 3 MOA to get on target. Hit.
I don’t have one of these scopes and have never seen one in person, I just see pictures often on the internet and have been wondering how they work. I know the Mk4 m3 and M3A really well, but I don’t think the Unertl works the same.
Ok, second question is with the oval mildots, Keep in mind I ask this though as if this is how the Marines would do it at Sniper school. For a fast way to read and dial in would you just read the mils like this:
Size of Target (inches) X 27.77 DIVIDED BY mil reading (ex. 1.45mil) = Distance in yards
This is the way that all the internet tutorials read out:
Size of Target (Yards) X 1000 DIVIDED BY mil reading ( 1 and 7/8mil (in a fraction??))= Distance in Yards
To me the internet tutorial way seems like a hard way to teach a Marine for the main reason for in real life its harder to look at an object and say, “well its about .74 of a yard tall” that’s hard to do, so, “oh its about 34” tall” would seem the more quick and simple way. So I would think that the first formula is what they use and it’s very similar to the Army and AF way of milling on the M3A.
Can anyone shed some light on this info for me, if you are/ former MOS 0317 it would really help.
Thanks guys.
