    Rifle Scopes Retical view

    Jerks. I'm new to long range and looking for answers. I came to a place, snipers hide, to get help and advice from people I thought had knowledge and experience they they would be willing to share. The first answer I received, the photos would have answered my question if there was something...

    Rifle Scopes Retical view

    Ok. So I Got Curious AND Did a little digging today Monday 9-27-18. It looks like Ironman talked to March scopes. March is developing a 6-60 power scope with 400 moa of adjustment. That works out to a little over 116 mils. There you go. There is your scope with 100 + mils of adjustment.

    Rifle Scopes 100 mil scope

    A few days back I was asking about reticle. More specifically how much of the reticle you could see a various magnifications. I used a scope with 100 mils of adjustment as an example. I was questioned where I found a scope with that much adjustment. My response was I was using it as an example...

    Rifle Scopes Retical view

    It was an example. I have never seen a scope with 100 mils of elevation, unless Iron Man has it. Thank you. You answer my question 7 mils at 35. I'm pulling the nails out of my head. Like you with the anvil comment. Lol

    Rifle Scopes Retical view

    Why is the question relevant? If I have a scope with 100 mils of elevation and can use 50 mils and have a mount that gives me another 45 mils of elevation I have 95 mils of useful elevation. If I have a scope with a tree retical I have hold over mils etched into the reticle. If I am at 20x...

    Rifle Scopes Retical view

    Look through your scope. Hopefully it is one of the two I am asking about or your answer will be of no use to me. While looking through your scope increase the magnification until parts of the Christmas tree start to disappear. STOP. Now look at what magnification your scope is reading on the...

    Rifle Scopes Retical view

    I recently looked through a Vortex scope, at the lowest setting there was no retical in view just crosshairs. I had to increase the magnification significantly before the reticle came into view. At its highest setting, 26 if I remember correctly, I could see the crosshairs and one midot to...

    Rifle Scopes Retical view

    This is a question for anyone that owns these scopes or Har knowledge of them. The 2 scopes in question are the Nightforce 5-25x 56 with a Tremor 3 retical and the Nightforce 7-35 x56 with the Tremor 3 retical. What is the lowest magnification you can see the entire retical? What is the...

    Lapua Magnum Ammo

    I'll check the ammo. I'll check the zero and I'll try the distance. Either way I'm happy with the purchase. If it does not meet the accuracy requirements I'll stick to shorter shots w I th this rifle and possibly add an AI in 338 to my safe

    Lapua Magnum Ammo

    Interesting. DRD guarantees 1MOA. I checked with the course and they say as long as it can meet the accuracy requirements the rifle will be allowed.

    Lapua Magnum Ammo

    I'm new to long range shooting and am looking for some sage advice. I have purchased an 338 LM caliber rifle and will be attending a school that has targets beyond 2000 yards. I have seen one person write that he recommends using 300 grain ammo over 250 grain for shots beyond 1500 yards. Do any...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-45x56

    Thank you for your answer. To expand on it is the reticle so large at the 45 power magnification that it would block a man sized steel silhouette at 1500 you 2000 yards ? Is the reticle visible and usable at 20 power magnification ?

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-45x56

    Has anyone had the opportunity to look through the Schmidt & Bender 5-45x 56 with the horus retical? How much of the reticle can be seen at a magnification of 20 and how much at 45?
