[QUOTE="Good, post: 481824, member: 18866"] A plus for the SFP- Bought a new to me 7 Rem Mag in Savage 110 the other day and had a chance to go out and shoot it yesterday. Bought a cheap box of Win ammo for the brass and sighted her in at 100. ES was around 140 and SD was like 43. After getting her sighted in, somewhat, I shot for the 500yd gong. The gong is approximately 2' in diameter. I couldn't get one gong in the reticle between the post and crosshair, so I dialed the power back to where I could get two gongs in the space. This happened to be 8x. The ballistics program said 42", my post to hair was approximately 48", so I just held post on. Ding. Then, using the same info, the 750yd plate is 18"x21" and the ballistics program said around 120+ inches which is around 10'. Post to post is 8' so I added another two and missed just to the right, but elevation was center. I missed my streamers on my target at 100 saying the breeze had picked up. Loaded my last round and ding! $199 Savage package gun and cheapo Win ammo shooting 750... and now I know, 8x with this cheapo Simmons scope, post to hair is 4'. :D Of course, the ballistics program also says MOA, so it would've been even easier to keep magnification on max and dial or hold MOA had it been a reticle for it, or FFP on any power...
