[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1736953, member: 61747"] 300 or less is normal hunting range as a 200 yard zero will generally allow a person to aim and shoot. Anything beyond that requires adjustments for wind, hold, atmospherics etc I consider long range. I would also include the position the shot is taken from. What has changed the game is advertising and tech due to popularity. It seems everyone thinks this is the way to go. Some 30 years ago I was shooting long range, I reloaded, had the correct set up, but what was lacking was the technology to make consistent hits. My scope was fine, heck a 10x was plenty. Today, for about 1500.00, your LRF can spit out a solution for the shot in fractions of second. That doesn't mean the shooter can hit anything of course. I mean how many people actually practice positional shooting in field conditions? [/QUOTE]
