[QUOTE="Brent, post: 17869, member: 99"] STL, If you find yourself in the clickin situation ever again, which is unlikely now that you've switched to the dark side [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img], but in case you do, and as BH said above, when I dial "up or to the right", I don't rely on the spring to move the erector tube, so I dial past a minute and then back in against the spring to take up any backlash in the threads that might be present. Recompressing the spring like this has always worked for me, and I don't take chances with my NF either, they all rely on the spring when backing the turret away from the erector tube to keep it tight against it. Like you though, I use the R2 out to 600 yards and is very fast, mine is still zeroed at 100 yards though. Ranging with the R2 is much easier and more accurate than mildots too. Here's something S1 posted a while back: Half the Size of Target (inches) ________________________ x 100 = Range (Yards) Size Target (lines) Notice my modification to the formula for use with the R2 reticle and the 2 moa line (tick mark) spacing. This cuts each of the numbers in half and makes for quicker math in your head under pressure. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
