[QUOTE="Beelzebub, post: 1417478, member: 29392"] At what price should you reasonably expect a scope to "track" up or down? At what price should you reasonably expect each click to actually be 1/4" at 100 yards? So say I have 200 grain 308 round with an SD of 3 over an average of 50 shots in a days time. Even if I allow some for equipment variances and I do a scope dope run on a couple of the calculators on the internet, should I reasonably expect the calculator and actual clicks not to have a difference of almost 2 mills at 800 yards? Today I finally made it to the 1100 yard range with a couple of friends. I was very disappointed with all 4 scopes in so far as them not being repeatable in returning to previous distances and getting the same results. And being so far from "projected" scope corrections at distances. While none of the 4 mentioned scopes were night force or upwards of a $K, they were all over $500. On my way home I decided I was dabbling in too many "ice holes" and maybe should concentrate more on 2 or 3 guns instead of a dozen. Instead of trying every new bullet and designer powder(s) that come out, stick with what has performed well in the said rifles and just try to improve upon that. Now, for the million dollar question. If you had a grand to spend on a scope in the 32-40 horsepower range what would you put on your list? Side focus or AO is fine, but would like to have an MOA over a MilDot. I thank you until you are better paid, Bee [/QUOTE]
