[QUOTE="Elkaholic Hunter, post: 1870345, member: 112172"] [ATTACH type="full"]185504[/ATTACH] Pretty good discussion here, lots of good input. Here’s my $0.02 I hunt NW Montana terrain is steep and thick and shot opportunities are quick. I am only a few years into this long range journey and have grappled with this scenario quite a bit. If money was no issue the answer would probably get a gunwerks G7, Sig 2400 or similar. But I am cheap so until I can afford something better this is the best idea I’ve come up with. While I do carry a range card I find it super cumbersome to take my face off the gun and target to look down at my range card. So I put a piece of packing tape on my turret and wrote out my own CDS dial with a white permanent paint sharpie (extra fine). Redneck but it works. I also carry and altimeter and an anemometer with a temp gauge. If I were to take a shot past 600 I would verify all my environmental’s and run a custom firing solution through my app. As far as wind goes I shoot Mil and recently listen to episode 005 of modern day sniper podcast. Check it out and blew my mind. I determined that my gun is a 9 mile per hour gun.
