Thanks for the information. Since I already have a Swarovski EL 8x42 for general glassing, and a Leica Geovid 15x56 for long range viewing and ranging, I am not sure I need a binocular that is almost as good or as good as the ones I already own, even if the price is right. But thank you again...

Swarovski or Leica, depending on specifics of terrain and game.

I don't know if this forum is the place for this, but we might want to discuss ideas for legally putting an end to the continued falsehood-based attempts to take our firearms away. Any interest?

Thanks, Rimfire, for getting where I am coming from. I have fine-tuned some of the better ballistic program data, too, but at extreme ranges not covered by the data I already have, program data so tuned still does not predict POI well enough to use. My last ground squirrel was taken at 1352...

Again, for the kind of shooting you are doing, obviously, the ballistic programs you are using do the job for you, and that is great. If I was only shooting out to 1,000 yards, I could manage quite nicely on big game using the same programs that you do. Small varmints at such distances and...

If all someone is doing is hunting under conditions and at the distances one normally shoots at in hunting terrain, they can get along fine with a ballistic program used in the manner you suggest. What I was suggesting is intended for use by someone who wants to wring the maximum possible...

Phorwath, the last time I checked, altitude was included in atmospheric conditions, along with barometric pressure (which obviously changes with altitude), relative humidity, and temperature. The chart I referred to was to include the results of shooting the rifle at different altitudes...

All targeting software programs are based on whatever guns and ammunition lots were used to make them. Your results may (and probably will) differ, at least somewhat. The only sure solution is to fire your rifle at all of the different distances at which you might have to use it, and keep...

Yes, it is. Nightforce bought the rights from Perry Systems some years ago, and has been marketing the program ever since. I have used it for years, and it works very well.
