When I talked to the Brunton rep, he indicated that he would go to the range or put out a measured target to check the Echo BDC Bar values but as a result of Brunton getting out of the optics business, they had emptied the warehouse of all scopes. So probably no trade. And I agree totally with...
Thanks much for pointing out the article by Barsness on the Eterna. It does, however, leave me with more that I can’t explain. Let me summarize what I think I know. 1) The Eterna literature shows bar values of 3.5, 11.5, and 23.5 MOA
(a jpeg picture would be here if I knew how to create it...
Is the "plex "windage" stadia" the horizontal lines associated with each bar? And I assume I'd measure them in basically the same way. And if so, how do I determine what wind speed/angle to bullet path that equates to? By the way, I had a chance to look at a Brunton 3x9x40 Eterna rifle scope...
The 270 I have the scope on and my 300wm are sighted in for 250yds. BDC bar ranges were based on a 130gr bullet @ 3100f/s. I often shot at the range out to 500yds and feel comfortable hunting at that range depending on the rifle, game and situation (sturdy rest, low wind, time). I must admit...
I did do the measurements at 9X. For the 270 I have the scope on, the holdoffs give me roughly on target at 400, 700, and 1000 yds. Is that out of line with other brand BDC scopes? TKS
I recently bought a Brunton 3x9x40 Echo rifle scope with the BDC reticle. So far I like the scope however I think the BDC MOA values for the three bars implied by the scope literature are way wrong. After calling Brunton (no help partly because they are out of the business now) and quite a bit...
