Wasgas, this is something I did not think about. I do have a 20moa rail on it. . .

Ok, so i'm trying to run the numbers from this mornings shooting. I have gotten myself a little confused so maybe someone smarter can help me with the math. . . I am zero at 200yds BC .696 Velocity 2782 Elevation 5800 Temp 44deg Scope Height 2.18" Shot 2" high at 645 yards with...

The best I can answer thos questions. 200 yards is approx 1 - 1.25" 3 shot groups. If I shoot 5 shot groups it opens up a hair but still sub MOA. I am just using the BC on the box. I don't know what velocities they calculate it at??? My velocity through the chrony was 2582fps (seems slow)...

It was actually warmer out (by 40 deg) when I shot them over the chrony. . . this would mean its backwards to what you would expect. But good thought none the less. Anyway, I will try tweaking the velocity (because you have all suggested it and I don't trust the shooting chrony) and see what...

It states on the scope that the adjustment is in MOA.

Checked the twist rate and it lands at 1.49, so right on the comfortable/marginal stability line. I would think that should be good. Especially since I have been getting 1" groups at 200 yards. If stability was a problem it would seem that at close yardage my groups would not be so tight. . .

I guess on another note.. . This rifle has less than 100 rounds down the tube. Is there a chance that velocity can increase as the rifle barrel breaks in? Could that cause the velocity that I am using to be low?

Ok, so it sounds like the scope height is not the problem. At 755 this morning I was shooting nearly 2 feet high. . . I haven't shot at 1000 yet but at 500 I am about a foot high. These are just rough estimates from shooting rocks/clay pigeons. I need to take a big sheet of cardboard out...

So, when dialing a scope I have realized that my rifle shoots consistently high at yardages 400-1000. I know asking without any background information is only going to lead to speculation. But I need to know where to look for what is causing the difference between my ballistic calculator and...

I hunt in very steep country out west and need an angle compensating rangefinder. I was looking at the Leupold RX-1000 TBR but the system doesn't make sense to me and the bow mode only goes to 60 yards. I need it to go to 100yds. Can someone explain to me why it doesn't just calculate for the...

Thanks for the info! This is exactly the type of input that I was looking for. Anyone have any input for the 10X vs. 12X? I glass a lot and usually from a rested position, I was just wondering if 12X is too much for pulling them up just to look every now and then while walking? Thanks, Kelpy

I have been using some cheap model binoculars for the last several years. I am ready to move up to a set that will last a lifetime. I don't have a ton of money but understand that good optics come with a price tag. I want something of the Swarovski type quality. Something that really blows...

Eaglet, what part of nevada are you in? I am in vegas and my tag is in 21,22,23. Flybuster, Yes the wind did switch and may have caused some horizonatal issues but still wondering about the 2 1/2 feet of vertical change? Catshooter, my scope is zeroed about 5-6 moa from the bottom of the...

I have a savage 112 bvss in 7mm rem mag with a leupold 6.5-20X40mm EFR Target scope. It is mounted with leupold base and burris sig rings. I have not had any problems with my setup for a while now and have been very pleased with my shooting at 1000 yards. However now 4 weeks away from deer...
