[QUOTE="805_Sniper, post: 480802, member: 31760"] I have the same scope. Once you put your scope on 22x power, then you can start figuring out distance to target using your NP-R2 reticle. Bracket the target with the vertical line. It the target falls between hash marks use your judgement for tenths of a M.O.A. With the known size of the target the equation is as follows: Size of target in inches / M.O.A. x 100 = range in yards Once you know the distance to target and your bullets ballistics you can either input the correction on the turret, or if the target is within range, you can just use the vertical hash marks to compensate for bullet drop. Note* dramatic incline/decline angles will have significant impact on the true range. I recommend the Night Force ballistic software for either a field PDA or you can get the desktop version and print out a ballistic table for a specific load. You can laminate it and keep it on your person in case your hunting in wet conditions... Also, Night Force makes an angle degree indicator that you can mount on your rail under your scope which will let you know the exact incline/decline. This info. can be plugged into your software to give you precise adjustments. A hand held weather device is also a good piece of equipment own for temperature, humidity, altitude, barimetric pressure, muzzle velocities.I hope this helps. Once you get the hang of it, that reticle is BAD ***! I know it sounds like a lot of things you have to do before you get a shot off, but once you practice it becomes second nature and you can do it all in a few seconds. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
