[QUOTE="kobraken, post: 1322413, member: 45165"] Ok--- I'm gonna tell on myself. I've been shooting rifles with cheesy scopes all my life. I even own a couple of decent scopes (MOA) with turrets. But I've never dialed a scope in my life. In my area a 200 yds shot ,(hunting) is about as far as it goes. I have made a couple of longer, 275 and 344 yds, on an elk in New Mexico. I used my BDC dots for those shots.( and guessed ) So, a MIL scope is new to me and I've got my head wrapped around it now. I love being able to dial in a range and if I do my part,score a hit. El matodor--- I dialed the scope up 9 mil. I did the math, 3.6 x 9 = 32.4 "of rise at 100 yds. I'm also learning to use my ballistic app at the same time so I was using it as a backup to my calculator. I actually shot 33.4" a difference of 1" thought this was odd, so we backed it down to 5 mil---3.6x5= 18" Shot 18.7 on that one, back up to 10 mil--3.6x10= 36" and shot 36.8 on that As a side note-- we shot these as 3 shot groups. We shot centerline and then dialed 1 mil left and 1 mil right (just learning to dial it ) and the shots tracked appropriately the correct offset. [/QUOTE]
