[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 597760, member: 2011"] Just for chit chat, here's the scoop on the scope. It's an old out of manufacture Weaver 4.5-14 x 44 FFP Mil Dot Tactical w/1/8 Min clicks. It's on a 338 RUM. I practice on rocks out to about 1200 yards. The appreciation of the combination of low power, good glass and reticle comes under two situations. One is when at the "hide" or ambush spot on the adjacent mountain where shots may be out to the 1200 yard practice limit when the sky clouds up or that side is in shadow. When watching and dry firing on deer with the powder reduced the deer can be bracketed very confidently between mil dots. (Was after a bull elk at the time and none came by :rolleyes:) The other is when going from and to the hide at both ends of the day. This scope is on my carry gun (Rem 700 sporter w/tupperware stock). @ the bottom power and close range the 5 mil dots in 4 directions plus the thicker lines make for quick acquisition on a muley in the timber. Pretty sweet. Tends to make one wanna poach.:rolleyes:) All in all its sweet! [/QUOTE]
