[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 66864, member: 2011"] My explanation is that mirage is caused by the temp difference between the surface and the air above it. The greater the difference the more the mirage. This explanation works for me during the summer here in Idaho. However, I haven't figured out what the deal is in the winter. Mirage is as bad as in the summer, at times. 36X is pretty much useless with heavy mirage. When I was shooting a 26 Leupold on a 222 40X @ 100 & 200 it gave me fits in the afternoon. About 10X maybe 16X is as about as much when mirage is running. HTH, at least a little bit. [/QUOTE]
