[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 724432, member: 12282"] IMHO, if you are wanting to shoot long range you should be capable of several things: 1) reloading -- seldom can factory rounds delivery the precise accurary that long range shooting demands 2) brains -- there is more than just trajectory to precise long distance shooting. Wind, angle, temp and pressure play a role. 3) brains-- NONE of the current scopes, rangefinders, binos, etc that attempt to do bullet compensation allow for complete date entry of the bullet, its BC, MV, etc. They rely on proscribed tranjectories. They lack the computing power to actually take the aformentioned data elements and transcrible them into REAL predictions. 4) money -- a very good rangefinder, will give you the angle, distance, pressure etc. You need to add -- guess what -- brains to memorize tables and figures to interpret those numbers. Sorry to sound negative.... I've recently worked with several products that attempt to predict hold over or correction. You cannot just plug in distance and get an answer. Until the scopes, rangefinders and binos that say they can correct for distance etc actually allow entry of ALL the meaningfull data, then I say avoid them. [/QUOTE]
