[QUOTE="Skinny Shooter, post: 5547, member: 716"] Wyo, a year ago I got to fondle an AR50 at the Harrisburg gunshow. It's been difficult living without one ever since. Those sleek lines, that sexy stock, those... aww never mind. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Even though I'm not sure where I'd shoot it, I still want one. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Ray, just so it's known officially... It's all Boyd's fault! Plus Darryl and Baldeagle helped too... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] At last October's shoot in Williamsport, never thought a 300RUM (Boyd's rifle)could shoot that nice. I expected to get knocked around a bit after hearing how "bad" that caliber is. Thank goodness for muzzle breaks. Just missing a claybird on one of my first shots hooked me good. hehe Jay, I was thinking along the lines of what you are doing. Currently I'm zero'ing at 100 yards and dialing up in MOA. In the Leupold, there are 8 oval dots on the vertical and 8 on the horizontal for 10 Mils each way. Once I start shooting the 168 or 175gr Mkings and know how much MOA can be obtained out of the scope, I was considering a 4 or 500 yard zero. Then figure out my MOA drops and come-ups and convert them to mils on the MilDot Master. It'll be interesting and if it works, very quick to get on target with minimal turret spinning. I'll have to look at my drop chart to see how it corresponds with the way you do it. Do you have the Master? I sort of have this desire to shoot my 308 up in Williamsport but alot of guys are working with flatter shooting calibers. For a starter gun it would still work right? I'm not expecting to be breaking records any time soon. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Allen [ 04-30-2003: Message edited by: Skinny Shooter ] [/QUOTE]
