[QUOTE="MachV, post: 162227, member: 93"] Had the privelage of watching a couple of masters at rangeing and holding over with the R2 reticle a couple years ago.The spotter is a walking calculator that had me lost most of the time on his figureing but I did pick up a little of it,very little! I finaly gave up trying to range with it...epecially past 400yards and went to a range finder:o Shot prairie dogs with a guy that had a NF 5-22 last spring.I was spotting for him and calling off the hash holdovers. He was a clicker and didnt understand what I was talking about so I started reading off MOA up and windage. He started hitting with relative ease but asked how I knew how much to hold over and click? Thats easy=He had an R2 reticle marked off in 2 MOA hashes and I had my 6-24IOR calibrated to MOA hashes.I could see where the hit was and used the reticle to call corrections. In his 25 years of varminting he had never done this and had ben wasting the value of the R2 reticle by not useing it :confused: I can use either MOA or Mills for guestaments and follow up shots but prefer MOA for its finer hashes! If I only get one shot please hand me my Geovids:cool: [/QUOTE]
