[QUOTE="X3MHunter, post: 346181, member: 18756"] The main purpose for mil-dots is for range estimation. There is no way you can hold over to within 1/4 moa precision like you could if you dialed your scope. The reason snipers have to use mil dots for fine tuning is because sniper scopes like the Leupold M3 has 1 MOA clicks, not 1/4 MOA like a target scope. Also, I don't worry about how flat a cartridge is, once you have to dial knobs it doesn't really matter if you are clicking 5 MOA or 5.5 MOA, just turn the knob a little more. And yes, the flatter the cartridge the farther you can point and shoot, but even a 308 with 175 gr. Bullets is easy to make a 300 yard shot with if you know your trajectory. After 300, reach for the knobs. Anyways, I don't think he can go wrong with a 7mm-08, it's a very accurate round and very efficient, bellet choices are plentiful, and so is factory ammunition. -X3M [/QUOTE]
