[QUOTE="Weaselthis, post: 1867193, member: 19417"] Ahhh...the good ole days! 1996, Colorado deer hunt.... son & I had 7RM's w/ 3.5x10x44 Leupolds sighted "about" 3" hi at 100. Couldn't really tell ya the exact zero w/ that, never checked. [B][U]But, IF[/U][/B] you ever touched my scope turrets, you were in for a bad time! We used 1ft.-2ft.-4ft method: 1ft. at 300y, 2ft. at 400y, 4ft. at 500y & killed a lot of stuff w/ that method. Hadn't heard of MPR as yet. Back then my "internet" was Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, and Peterson's Hunting mag. Anyway, this day, son spotted a nice buck waaay out there. No range finder back then. Dad guessed right at or slightly over 400y. Both got set up w/ a great sitting position side by side on a cross tie corner fence line. Both held a little over the top of the back. I;m gonna back him up. Count of 3 we shoot....boom....boom.... both rounds landed under that deer's belly between his legs. We both saw the dirt splash. Think he must have set a new world record for the high jump! Couldn't believe we both missed.?? wth? Stepped off the distance and was a 610 paces.... I'm 6'3 w/about a 30-31 in. stride. I figger the deer was a tad over 500! Guess who had one o' them fancy new range finders next year in deer camp? LOL. How things have progressed! Thanks for posting 8x68s!
