[QUOTE="cronhelm, post: 51854, member: 98"] We do a lot of .22 rimfire shooting here because most of the farms we shot gophers at are too small for big centrefires. Rifles are usually heavy barreled target versions like Anschutz etc. Gophers are about 2.5" wide and 6-9" tall. I have made hits out to 200 yds and a whole lot of hits to about 150 yds. Last week I made a laser ranged hit at 170yds. Gophers are difficult targets because they are always moving. For optics we use the 3-9x40 Tasco Worldclass with MIL Dot reticle. Because we shoot in a target rich environment it would be too slow to click up for each shot and the turret would probably wear out after a few months of this sort of abuse. So we use the MIL Dots for holdovers. From a 50yd zero 5 mils holdover can take you out to about 200 yds or so. To go any further you will need to click up. Peter Cronhelm [/QUOTE]
