[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 543333, member: 1521"] For me, distant groundhog hunting(my theme) provides a benefit of more time. It's not a shoot as fast as possible challenge, but more about precision. It would be the same with deer if I hunted em. I range with my spotting glass(Geovid), so when I see them, I have the range instantly and accurately. I put together a strategy and if shooting from current position, glance at my card, and dial elevation before I even get behind the gun. About ~20sec, but I have plenty of time. Setup, side focus, level, consider my drift holdoff, and wait for a good shot. I've been using Mk4 scopes for hunting(8.5x25 M1). These actually are MOA(1.047") rather than IPHY. They aren't 'Hunters-MOA'/'Made-up MOA', or NF MOA(which is 1.09"). I test them when I set the elevation ADJUSTMENTS plump to a ScopeLevel. I would be ok dialing 1/4IPHY, 1/4MOA, 1/10MIL, or 1/253440MILE. But I MUST have laser ranging, and a fine reticle subtension(I prefer/use a med-fine crosshairs). Yeah, thread started about MOA, but then OP conceded that nothing about it mattered to him anyway. So we might as well discuss it anyway we want. [/QUOTE]
