Enzo, I hear great things about the Super Sniper line. Great tracking, built like a tank, affordable. The scope is FFP and mil/mil. Here is a link to check out. SWFA SS 5-20x50 Tactical 30mm Riflescope Tim

akafarmer, According to Bushnell the dots subtend a MOA. On a SFP scope, the smallest subtensions will be at the highest magnification. If your dot is covering 6 MOA at 200 yards, you must be on a lower magnification. Try increasing your magnification to make the dot appear smaller at a given...

Hello and Happy Hollidays to all. If one stays within the maximum point blank range of a given cartridge, can the angle of the shot be ignored? Thank you for your help. Tim

Browninglover1, Thank you for your reply. I understand what you are saying. Tim

Scot E, That helps immensely. I was having a lot of difficulty phrasing the question. When I see 30" drop at 400 yards, according to the diagram, the drop is from the trajectory line. Is this correct, thanks again. Tim

Thank you for your reply. I don't understand where drop is measured from. The gibberish comment is uncalled for. Tim

Hello all, I have a question about line of sight as it relates to trajectory. If a round drops 30" at 400 yards, wouldn't the center of the target have to be at least 30" above the line of sight? I understand that the drop from the axis of the bore will be more because the barrel is angled...

10 inches @ 125 yards, 13 inches @ 150 yards, 15 inches @ 175 yards, 18 inches @ 200 yards, 20 inches @ 225 yards, and 23 inches @ 250 yards. Paul, I enjoyed your article immensely. I do have a question. If your bead subtends 10" @ 125 yards, why isn't the ratio staying the same as distance...

Gentlemen, Hello, I understand that the author of this article passed away, I am sorry. It was nice to see a review of a product at a real world price. I wish the various publications and web sites would focus more on quality, reasonably priced items. I love reading and learning about $600...

Gentlemen, I want to thank all of you who responded. I fully realize that long range hunting requires a great deal of skill. I don't know if I will ever hunt at truly long range. That is why I framed my question in terms of MPBR for the 7mm-08 round. I appreciate all of the answers and advice...

Gentlemen, Hello, I have an accuracy requirement question. I have never hunted, I currently target shoot with a 22LR. I hope to hunt in the future, I realize that is my responsibility to shoot at distances that I can reliably hit with the proper caliber. The maximum point blank range for the...

Chache, Thank you for your assistance. Tim

chache, Thanks for your reply. I am considering reloading for service rifle matches. The front sight on a service rifle is 2.6" above the barrel. At 10 feet, the bullet will still be beneath LOS. Can I aim - just under the diffuser, ensuring I will be between the diffuser and the body? Am I...

Hello all, I have a question about chronographs. I have never seen one used. How and where do you set up the chronograph? Is the shot supposed to go through the loops(don't know correct term)? Do you aim between the loops? How far away should it be? Do you set it up on a tripod of some sort...
