[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2023960, member: 101791"] Not all have scopes are able to do that, and it's not really needed, the ranges are held down to under 500yds, with a rifle that's velocity that's about 3200fps. From what I have read even scope that state you can do that, by turning the nob aren't very accurate. It wasn't to much money, it's was the lack of understanding of his rifle and bullet flight. Just nobody worked with him to understand what needed to be, and what didn't have to happen. he was stuck between knowing that his scope could be adjusted, and his range finder. Believing he needed to adjust at every distance. The animal was shot, and then move, he would range and adjust his scope, and the animal would move again, back to the range finder. The animal keep moving until it moved out of sight about 150yds away. Sad, and somebody needed to work with him at the range for him to get a full understanding of his rifle. He lived in Europe and I am on the west side of the U.S. So I couldn't work with him. It wouldn't be the first person that I have help over the years. Hopefully I haven't met the last person to help either. A GREAT DAY IS WHEN YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW, OR TEACH SOMEBODY SOMETHING NEW. [/QUOTE]
