[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1632558, member: 60453"] I thoroughly agree with you. I use Shepherd scopes on most of my hunting rifles, and the reticle is calibrated for bullet drop, with ranging circles every 100 yards on the vertical stadium line. I've done extensive experimentation with these scopes to see how accurate the drop figures are on the actual range at 100 to 800 yards, and they are very close to perfect for my rifles. any differences in vertical impact point is generally masked by the dispersion of the 5 to 10 shot groups at distances out to 700 yards, plus, I reload for the reticle and altitude I'll be hunting so that I get as close a match in actual trajectory and the drop trajectory in the scope as I can. This works well enough that I can be in a 5 inch circle or less, depending on the rifle, out to 600 yards on the range near my house which is about 0.8 moa, and the circle centers either on or within two inches of point of aim. That's good enough. The perfect is the enemy of the good(enough). [/QUOTE]
