[QUOTE="alf, post: 1094042, member: 9543"] To finish up the test, I loaded up everything for the last time, and moved back to the 1200 yard mark. Temps were warming up, and the mirage was really turning into an issue. I knew spotting impacts in the grass was going to be impossible, so I just dialed in 34.5 MOA of elevation, added another minute of wind, and aimed for the center of the 24" steel and....... Nothing. I tried a couple more, but felt like I was pizzin' in the wind. So I moved over to the 42" target, and with the NP-R1 reticle making it easy to bracket the target frame to hold dead center, I quickly threw three shots at it. Shazam, 11 1/4" group!

The center of the triangle is about 8" low, so I needed another 2 or 3 clicks of elevation to be centered. I needed another minute of wind too, but was happy to print all 3 on paper.
