[QUOTE="Brent, post: 6130, member: 99"] Dave, I didn't have a tape on me in the field so the moose didn't get measured but, I do have a head and cape in the freezer STILL from my sons moose in 2000. I'll dig it out and let it thaw and take some measurments off it this weekend. The ones I've ranged and duducted the measurments from using the R2 reticle are still rough measurements but seem to be accurate. I'll collect more data with this method and get a better idea as I go. Here's some I've gotten with the R2 so far; Young bull, 2 years old. Body; Hump to brisket = 30 MOA at 80 yards (24") Middle back to brisket = 25 MOA at 80 yards (20") (shortest part from back to belly) Eyes; Outside to outside of eyes from the front = 10 MOA at 80 yards (8") Top of head to tip of ears = 7 MOA at 80 yards (5.6") Outside to outside of ears = 18 MOA at 80 yards (14.4") This one was a full grown cow Moose; Middle back to brisket = 8 MOA at 300 yards (24") (shortest part from back to belly) Outside to outside of eyes = 3 MOA at 350 yards (10.5") This data needs refining a bit and verified some more but it's a start...
