[QUOTE="Dalbo, post: 225259, member: 12525"] Hey guys thanks for all your input. I'm going to stick with the mil-dot set up on this rifle but will change the scope when I can afford to. In the mean time I'll head back to the range and try to get it zeroed properly. I feel comfortable using the dots for W&E as long wind is not blowing too hard past 200 yards. I don't have any confidence in dialing up with this scope, obviously. I used Norma's ballistic program to set up a W&E chart for the load I plan to hunt with (100g Barnes TSX @ 3550fps). I converted inches to MOA, clicks, and Mills on the chart out to 500yds. I just need to confirm them at the range. The BSA scope had the mil-dots calibrated for the 10x setting. I've been reading up on how to use the dots and practacing on the mildot.com webpage. It has a cool program where you have to estimate the range of targets using mills as well as estimating wind values. The free version has ten stations, and I'm considering buying the full version for $50 bucks. If you get bored you may want to check it out, it's pretty challenging with the .50 cal out past 1500yds. I have a 3-9x40 Nikon Buckmaster on my 30-06 and I like it alot. I was wondering if any of you have experience with their 4-16x40 mil-dot scope. It's priced at $289, or would you have any recomendations for a MD scope in the 200-300 price range. Thanks agian, Dave. [/QUOTE]
