[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 848877, member: 10"] I think some of you guys are missing my point. I am not saying that I would RECOMMEND this scope setup for 1070 yard shooting. Only showing that you CAN make accurate shots at long range with lower powered magnificantion. I have made this point many times in the past. In 2007, I made a killing shot on a rockchuck at a measured 2370 yards that won the longest shot of the year award from the Varmint Hunters Association. That shot was made with a 3-15x NF NXS scope and many said that would be impossible to make that shot with that power scope which is simply laughable. As are some of the comments on this post. I suppose I could have targets a 3 moa rifle at this range, hit it in the middle every shot and made everyone happy with the same 3/4 class group size but again, that was not my intention. I shoot at very small targets, generally less then 1/2 moa. In fact, had this rifle been set up in its normal configuration, it would have had a 3-15x NF or 5.5-22x NF and I would have been targeting the very small round white rock that was low and left of the impact sight. This target was right at 1/4 moa in size measured off the NP-R1 reticle on the 5.5-22x NF mounted on a 280 AI I tested right before I tested this 375 AX. Apparently none of you guys discrediting this video have never used a reticle to measure anything or feel its not an accurate method to get accurate size measurements at long range without actually putting a set of calipers on the target to prove its size..... To each their own, this system works, works extremely well for testing 700 plus rifles that have shipped out of the shop. Works for me, if it does not make you guys happy, well...... life will go on.
