[QUOTE="82ndreddevil, post: 608547, member: 36912"] I was the one that initially started this post and I am very impressed with the amount of input I have seen. Some of you guys bring up some good points and show a wealth of knowledge. I think back to when I was in the Army carrying the M-24 which was obviously a few days ago and I remember how haji does not ever stand still long enough for you to mil him. He also never gives you the full silhouette either. In fact I think the only time I have ever been able to use a mil dot in order to accurately estimate range was on the rifle range. We would set up steel targets such as larues and silhouettes at unknown distances and then we had to mil them for the distance. Today for hunting I use my mils for hold off only. The problem I have using mils is that unless you know the exact size of your target it wont be accurate. Sometimes at long distances it is hard to determine if that is an average size animal or big one or even a small one. A few of you guys mentioned laser range finders, does anyone have a good recommendation for one that is reasonably priced? And yea I am sure they are just like any other optic, you get what you pay for. But I am not looking to spend a thousand on one either. [/QUOTE]
