Rifle Scopes why did i wait so long?

[sniper307]

just mounted up my new Nightforce 5.5 x 22 x 50 MLR, Zero stop, MIlradian knob scope. this thing is sweet. i was nervous about the MIL/MIL but after just a few seconds, i settled down . it actually only took two shots to sight it in. first one was on paper, i then checked the MILS, made the correction and BAM, second shot in the bull. I liked my LEUPOLD with the TMR except for the freaking window. it would draw my eye away from the crosshair. If anyone has reservations about going MIL/MIl, dont. it is the easiest thing since sliced bread.

You just mil from where the round impacts to your target then dial that on your turret.

Surgeon,
Your come up would be right at 3 mils....for your 55 in drop. How do you figure this...?

Next: make your drop charts in MILS, not Inches, moa, or the damned "clicks"!!!

MIL/MIL = Great
