[QUOTE="joseph, post: 812401, member: 19151"] Mikecr, When I hold on the center of the X ring at 1,000 yds. at 24 power I think the cross hair is 1/2" or less from dead center. My rifle is a pretty good shooter, but my biggest problem is getting 5 shots off as fast as I can to hopefully have all 5 shots go down range with the wind exactly the same. It is not easy with a single shot rifle. This target is the second time I ever shot at 1,000 yds. I did change the scope to a 18 power SFP with EXTRA FINE reticule I used for bench rest shooting. I did not do as good with that scope only because the wind was changing back and forth very fast. The target was shot with my FFP PST at 24 power. Not to bad for the second try with the smallest group of 8+1/8 inches. My best group was shot the 5th. time I competed and one group was 3+1/4". I was going to hang it on the wall, but my darling wife threw it out while I was at work. GRRRRRRRRRR. I'm also posting the first target I shot to test my new custom turret which was at 400 yds. and only 3 shots. I was just trying to see if it was on the paper. :) [url=http://forum.gon.com/showthread.php?t=564977&highlight=]Testing new Vortex custom turret. - Georgia Outdoor News Forum[/url] joseph PS: If you don't think you can shoot good with a FFP scope at high power that is your choice.
