[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 324504, member: 2011"] Jon, The conditions under which I noticed this condition are a bit unique as I do all of my shooting prone from a "shooting bed", (Railroad ties filled with sand) over a long flat area. The kicker is anything over 200 yds I have to shoot over a swamp with tall reeds. Until I get out to 900 yds I'm shooting through the tops of the reads. (Wonder what that does for group size? W/the 338 Rum and 300s it doesn't seem to make much difference.:)) I have a "ranging board" mounted to a post at the firing line The idea is to range the board when setting the target. With the LRF on the manfrotto tripod I can "just" see the board over the reeds. Above the board, looking from the range is a large tree and the house, about 80 yards back. I have to be careful to not range the reeds or the house. To squeeze a good reading out of it I kept moving the red square/rectangle? up until I missed the reeds and didn't get the house. The sighting board was in the bottom half of the sighting square. I'm confused regarding whether I'm shooting high or low with it.:rolleyes: After things freeze up around here, it was 20* this morning, I'll make a couple of passes with my Zuki and flatten some reeds. I'll then do a better "sight in" . I was pretty amazed with how much more distance could be achieved with the steadiness of the bipod and the ability to pick that small white board out of all of the clutter around it. More to come.
