[QUOTE="jb1000br, post: 63009, member: 1459"] [ QUOTE ] Wind mirage prevents you from using more... the guru's say, and I guess I believe them. But jeepers man, things is itty bitty out past 1000 yards. I am thinking 8x25 loopie with mildot. Please talk me out of it in a way I can believe, cuz I think maybe the 16x max is probably true, but I can't convince my brain to truly believe it! LOL Thanks for any replies. [/ QUOTE ] So who are these guru's anyway [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] I use a 20-50x leup at 1000yds--havent come down from 50x in about 10 matches from 500M-1000yds I also know about 2 handfuls of other guys that shoot 1kBR who dont come off 50X--and they are in the top 10 in the aggs at williamsport. though 16 will easily get you to 1K (though that would be tough on P-Dogs) it is nowhere near max usable magnification. YMMV, JB [/QUOTE]
