[QUOTE="BCC72, post: 2923632, member: 125695"] I don’t know where you hunt but When you’re talking ‘half minute of hunting’…. You’re good. I’m sure as a hunter you wouldn’t plan on taking that 700 yd shot without a perfect rest and you’ve had time to look at your dope, set up etc. make a note on your dope chart, Zero for cold bore and call it good. Here in Montana, the temperature can steal 1-2fps per degree from a rifle alone. That can equal .5MOA (50 degree swings in a day are common), wind in your face could be .5MOA. If you’re racking a round in for a follow up shot, it should be fast and immediate and hopefully just an anchoring shot after a lethal first. [/QUOTE]
