[QUOTE="rammac, post: 2089361, member: 27761"] He's even more full of crap. Redo your ballistic estimate using his subsonic velocity, under 800 FPS at 850 yards? Just with rough data (approx 2000 FPS at the muzzle, 50gr Vmax, .223 caliber, 30 MPH wind, 850 yards) and you'll see that wind adjustment will be somewhere around 48 feet (64 MOA), it'll be pretty hard to convince me that he found a scope that allowed for that much windage. 60 MOA total adjustment (plus or minus 30 MOA) is about the best you'll buy and that would require that he zeroed his rifle at one side of the scope and offset his point of aim to the very edge of the other side of the scope. You aren't going to be hitting pdogs with that kind of setup. And then try spotting your own impact, making scope adjustments, and then recovering your shooting position in under a second while shooting at pdogs at 850 yards, it isn't possible. [/QUOTE]
