[QUOTE="Dieselsite, post: 605383, member: 36073"] I must be confused. I'm sure you guys can set me staight. I have the 12x scope on my Tac15i that it came with. When I try to sight it in, I set the center crosshairs at 50 yards (at 5x), and the 20 yards is then 6 reticles up from center. By my math, I'd be off the grid at 80 yards or so. Where I'm confused is how on earth do you shoot one of these 100 yards and still be able to hit something at 20 yards? There doesn't seem to be enough compensation to cover that much ground. Am I doing something wrong? I can rule out the speed (chrono at 404fps). Just seems to be a TON of drop on these things for the speed they are traveling. I will have more questions but this one has me stumped. Do you loose the ability to use it for hunting if you want to be able to shoot long range? Oh, and I just saw that drop away rest on the store- gotta have one. :) Bob [/QUOTE]
