[QUOTE="PhatFireMan, post: 964635, member: 81460"] Very nice of you to make that assumption and to make such a comment about me, but no...I CAN hit a 1-foot square target at 200 yards. And 300 yards for that matter. Personally I consider myself a pretty decent shot. His instruction, I believe, was rather to assist me in determining what the drop compensating dots are going to mean for my particular rifle to make fine tuning at 100-200 yards easier. Not that I should leave the 300 yard range and immediately begin recklessly slinging lead at game animals out on the horizon. In this particular case I had dialed in a quick 2"-3" group at 100 yards, with a brand new rifle and scope, then moved it out to the 200 yard target and tried using the drop compensating dots on my reticle. Being a public range they only allow you to go down range every hour or so and, like I mentioned, I could not clearly tell with the crappy spotting scope they provide if I actually hit the target or not. As I also mentioned my opinion was that I was probably missing high, thinking that the 7mm mag round had a flatter trajectory than the scope maybe was designed to compensate for. I didn't have the time to hang out and wait till the next cease fire to physically check the target. I left the range to return another day and really dial it in, after getting a little more info on what to expect from this caliber (new to me) in combination with this particular scope. At $2/round I can't afford to waste. No matter what technical forum you go to, be it hunting, fishing, or underwater basket weaving...there is always at least one guy with a God complex ready to seize any opportunity to sarcastically insult someone just trying to ask for some simple advice. Thank you so much for your opinion on my shooting abilities. [/QUOTE]
