I just got a Leupold VX-III 6.5x20 L/R Target. Its going on a Rem. 700 that was just converted to a 300 Dakota. The scope has the large target knobs that read from 0 to 14. You are right, if you were to count, going back around to zero that is actually 15. Now with everyone talking about...

All right, my ignorance is coming through again. Thanks for all the replies, it answered a lot of questions however now I have one more. After doing the math I need to adjust for 9 moa. Now that equals say 37 "clicks", what does the 0-14 mean on my target turrets. Is there a book or website...

OK, it's obvious that I am new to this MOA thing. If a scope has the 56 MOA adjustments, and my bullet drops say 58" at 600 yards, is there enough adjustment to calculate for bullet drop. Again thanks for the replies.......

All right, dumb question. Say your scope has 56 MOA of adjustment. What does that mean. Is that 56 inches up or down at a 100 yards if so, what about at 600 yards. Now when you turn the turrets to adjust for drop, do you have to figure the MOA at that distance or does it do it automatically...

The 4-12 and 6-18 have the AO on the front of the scope just like a VariXIII instead of the side focas knob. I would like to save a few bucks to spend on other things for the rifle but if it is worth the extra $$ I will get the Mark4.

Has anyone used the Tacticle Leopold MKll scope. Was interested in the durability, repeatability and clarity. It would be nice to save a little cash to spend on something else.

The deal sounds good but don't get in much of a hurry opening up boxes, I'm just in the pre-planning stages and am not sure what I am ultimately going to do. If this is an easy build for a gunsmith and I am able to make the empty brass, I'll do it, but again not sure what this is going to...

Thanks for the input. That was my next question, which is easier to do, neck up a 7mm or neck down a 338. I assume there are reloading dies available through RCBS.....

I posted the other day regarding 7mm mag vs 338 mag. Gots great replies but now I was wondering if anyone has converted a 338 to the 30-338. I already have a 338 Win in a Rem 700. In looking at the ballistics, it comes in near to a 300 win mag but in a 30-06 length. Has anyone done this...

I'm new to the site and not trying to drum up old questions but could not find this topic. I'm from N. California and used to hunt mostly on private property. The 7mm-08 that I used put all the deer down but was only shooting at marginal distances. Due to obvious reasons that most other...
