[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 494197, member: 30902"] The vital zone of an elk or thousand pound hog is about 18" sq. 2" is nothing. As for "complicated", no, not at all No need to dope and dial because as I said, I use the mil dots rather than dialing in my elevation/drop. I've been stacking up bodies with one shot kills with this method for 20 years before ballistic calculators were even available to the public so I know without a doubt it works. Take a look at the zeiss Rapiz Z reticles. They are set up basically using a very similar principle, and ya know, they have enough FOV to get a bullet to 1000yds without indirect fire. We're not talking about a bench rest competition and the need for sub 1/2MOA groups to win. We're talking about killing a very large animal with a large vital zone under field conditions, not off of a bench. As for cost, the difference in the bases alone is over 80.00 and another 80.00 or more vs some of the other ring recommendations. Again, college kid on a tight budget, and a hunting rifle that will be used for a MAX of 1000yds, not a toy being set up specifically for 1000yd shots at the range. [/QUOTE]
