[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 615189, member: 26019"] I'm leaving CE alone until I know which side my bread is buttered on. S.D. and a canted scope work very well when set up at the longest expected yardage. When closer ranges are shot the poi traverses closer to the center of the optical radius center and then past center keeps going (traversing), The closer the distance the less the error and the more poi can be off to hit the same size target. If a person sets up at a closer range and then shoots long range the error gets larger with distance and the target gets smaller ( not really). Setting up at max range reduces error from S.D. Setting up at close ranges increases error. I have no Idea what a rifle set up for ranges that span from 100 yds. to 2000 yds would be, Its got to be a bunch though. The only thing that makes the craziness of ELR shooting possible for me is to "use a dedicated rifle" and if I were to try to shoot closer ranges with them it would be a monkey and football show. Even at that I have very firmly hit a brick wall at 1800 yds and most folks will get frustrated to the point it seems like a joke to them and quit playing, It is quite the adventure! [/QUOTE]
