[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 1814469, member: 879"] 74sharps: That is Bushnell Nitro 5-20X44SF with a Mil (Milradian) reticle. The SF adjusts parallax as close as 10 yards! I got it on sale and it is worth way more than I paid for it in every respect. For only $300 dollars more than what I paid, I could have gotten another scope that would be just as good. Glad I didn't follow the common advice! So far, I'm pretty sure that I can use the mil-marks for shooting at exact distances out to 400 yards or maybe farther. I have already calculated the drop in mils for the 140 grain Fusion, but you can do it for any load and use the mil-marks to aim dead on at distance. I know the knob crankers wouldn't approve, but this is not an extreme LR rifle. It is a light hunting rifle for my deer camp, where shot opportunities rarely exceed 400 yards. Who knows? If the groups get any smaller than a dime at 200, I may have to bolt it down on a heavy tripod and start cranking turrets somewhere out West where the deer and the antelope and the real LR Big Boys play.
