[QUOTE="joseph, post: 811704, member: 19151"] Here is a picture in Wyoming where 3 of us were shooting at a 7" steel target at 700 yds. It is my Savage Duel Port Target action with a Brux 26" 1 in 8" twist S/S barrel in 6mm Norma BR. If I remember correctly we needed to make 4 clicks into the wind. We were shooting 105 Berger VLDs. There was about 15 to 20 mph right to left wind. The scope is a Vortex PST 6-24x50mm FFP with a custom turret set at 24 power. We shot 45 rounds between the 3 of us and I think we missed less than 5 times. When increasing the power with a FFP scope the target enlarges the same amount as the reticule. If you can hold on a bullet hole at 100 yds. you can hold on a bullet hole at any distance if you can see it. Joseph PS: Once you get used to even the 6 power you can see it perfectly. And you can always turn on the illumination if you desire. [/QUOTE]
