[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 629025, member: 10306"] keep your M1's. if you think that looking at a drop chart is to slow, consider if the shot is too far to be shooting that fast. with my Mark 4 with M1's I cut a peice of masking tape that fit in the spot with no lettering on the dial. I get a good, confirmed drop chart to wherever 15 MOA is (one revolution of the dial). at each 100 yard mark I put the yardage/10 (so 400 yards would be 4). then when the drops get past 4" per 50 I enter in the .5 to represent 50 and so on to .25 for 25 yards. then I put a peice of clear scotch or packing tape over it. you just made yourself a custom dial that can be changed whenever you change your load or make a big elevation change. I actually use green painters tape, I find it more visible but I have used the masking tape before. Thats what works for me. I feel that if someone is going to get into long range hunting there needs to be alot of thought put into there set-up and alot of trigger time to. The people who have both those thing tend to go with the MOA or mill turrets. I would consider it on a light wieght mountain rifle, but only breifly, then I would come to my senses. [/QUOTE]
