Hello, I am new to snipers hide but I have been a long time looker, until today. If this is in the wrong place please some one move it.
I have been looking for 5 days now on this subject and now I figured I would ask some people who know what they are talking about.
I am new to the long range shooting but I have done my home work, and know how to shoot and range and other things. I have been a spotter for a guy who has no @#$% clue on how to shoot long range (He's my best friend). He does what I tell him to put into the scope. And it has worked out well, but now I have my own gun. Remington 700 .308 bull barrel (its a built gun started with an ADL now it has a AICS mag as well as other s**t. ill get into it later)
I am looking at scopes right now; I like the vortex viper PST, this wont be the scope that stays on it, would like a Nightforce or a Schmidt and Bender some day.
But I am torn between 1/10 MIL and 1/4 MOA. This is where I need some setting straight what do you think is better and why. I like the MIL/MIL combo. the guy I spot for uses, well tries to, a MIL dot with 1/4 MOA turrets. I've used 1/4 MOA for sighting in my hunting rifles and know about that and crap. I know that doesn't mean nothing to no one but I'm use to it.
I would like to shoot out past 600 yards maybe even 1100 if my bullets will still be stabilized that far, and they don't key hole. What I don't want is to run out of elevation or wind age adjustment on the scope. I don't mind trying new things especially if they are better, and I love to mess around with new shit. I guess what I would like to know is how many use 1/10 MIL and 1/4 MOA. it would be nice to hear from some one who has used them both and could direct me to one or the other
Thank you
