[QUOTE="Alstar250, post: 626021, member: 44220"] Hello everyone, thank you for your time. I've been a long-time lurker here, trying to learn as much as possible. Now that I want to start longer range shooting (I've rarely needed to shoot at distances past 300yds). My hunting scopes have always been "set & forget" and I'd use hold-over and Kentucky windage once its zero'd. So now I have a couple of questions about scopes. 1) How do target scopes differ from hunting scopes? Specifically, how do you use target scopes once you have sighted in the rifle? Doesn't changing the turrets change your zero? 2) How handy are Mil-Dot reticles? I use a laser range finder, so are they still the go-to reticle for long-range shooting? And for Mil-Dot estimations (distance/height of target etc) what power are those estimations made under? This is an awesome site, I'm glad I'm here... Thanks everyone [/QUOTE]
