[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 991713, member: 22335"] Using Nikon's SpotOn technology as well as an ACCURATE muzzle velocity from YOUR rifle (and not the one printed on the box of ammo) you can hit out to 500 yards. You will need to print out the proper card with the power and distances to match, or buy SpotOn to have on your phone. Most important you will have to practice and verify that it works using your rifle. Test it at 300/400/500 yards and verify that the circles of your reticle match what Nikon tells you they should be. I've shot to 400+ with a BDC reticle practicing on steel targets, and my Dad has shot 500+ and 800+ (yes, really) to take an antelope. Note - I would not do that without a lot of practice first. What rifle did you buy? Have you shot it yet? Where in Michigan are you? An accurate range finder and lots of practice are you friends here. Leica 1600B comes to mind. [/QUOTE]
