[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1410617, member: 93846"] It isn't really temperature directly that causes mirage, it is the temperature difference between the ground and the air. I've had mirage issues with air temperatures in the 40°F range. The higher the ground temperature as opposed to the air temperature, the greater the mirage. The closer you are to the ground, the more you will be impacted by whatever mirage is present. The higher the magnification you use, of your optic, the more you will see the effects or the prevailing mirage. 20 power is more than enough magnification for 1000 yards! I too am near sighted but, with my scope properly adjusted, I have shot 7" groups at 1200 yards. 9" to 12" groups at that range are relatively common, when I get the wind read correct. Not too bad for my rifle setup and budget. [/QUOTE]
