[QUOTE="Broz, post: 845677, member: 7503"] John, first I do not range with a reticle, I choose to use a laser Rangefinder. The reason is to range with a reticle you have to know the targets exact size, the game I hunt varies in size even among the same animals. An elk said to be 24" tall at the brisket could easily be 28 or 30" a 10% error here will result in a 10% mis-range on distance. So that could easily turn into a target at 900 yards reading 810 yards or 990 yards, that simply will not cut it. But to answer your question directly, if you know the exact target size, like you said 72", and it measured right at 10 of the MOA hash marks in the scope it would mean the target is close to 700 yards away. This is of course at 25 X on the ATACR. Or you could turn it down to 12.5 X and the hash marks would become 2 moa. At 12.5 X your 72" target would only be 5 hash marks in dimension. Hope this helps, glad you enjoyed the review. Jeff [/QUOTE]
