[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1366690, member: 97414"] Hello Bob. I guess I'm the only fellow here in our Americas that has been testing frugal $500 Cnd funds / $300 Usd optics to the 1700 meter mark over the last 8 months. Just closing in on 7500 + rounds down range. The word is Nikon. Funny thing is that I was referred to my by a National F Class tournament shooter who competes at the National level. These are not our match optics by any means, but they are our all round fill in optics for long range and 100 to 600m shooting sports. My little Nikon BDC showed pin point actuary out of the box on day 1,,, followed by the 1 km challange, then the 1700M clay bank shoots. There will be lots of tests and data entry going forward next year as I started this frugal budget optics under $500 last year. I guessing I'll be the first to step onto a 900 meter shoot this year with the lowest priced optics ever seen by the national Match Federation,,, I could care less what other folks say since I'm doing my own thing. My main competion optics are $1335 Cnd funds /$1000 Usd. It's a tack driver,,, but so is the budget scope. We must not forget that a few years ago a fellow Named Carlos held the world record with optics much less then what we have today. Purhaps it folks like me that are soon to bring budget optics back in line with folks that fit this category. If they can't handle the long distance with consistency, then they won't make the list of top 10. Western Canada Don [/QUOTE]
