[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1865938, member: 57533"] How far/distance do you intent to shot out to & how many moa of adjustment does the scope have? You will get to a point that as [USER=97050]@dfanonymous[/USER] has mentioned you may need a 20 or 30 moa rail but you need to work that out on a ballistics calc to what your loads are to find how far out & how many MOA it will take to get you to a set distance. Not being a FFP your subtension values will change as you zoom the scope, that should be mentioned on the reticle info somewhere & also what it is indexed at, so as an example at say 12X the subtension value will be say 2moa, at 24X it will be 4moa & as 6X it will be 1moa(could be the reverse I cant remember exactly) but look for the info for your reticle. As for the POI at known distances yes use a calculator with all your crony/load data to start BUT I have found the further you shoot the more what is in a calculator can vary, so I print off the calculator card & then go out & shoot the distances to check the data. Imo real world data is better than a calculator! So make up your own drop/dope card so you know how many click you need for a set distance, & for that you obviously need a range finder! [/QUOTE]
