I am building a rifle and I just ordered a SS 5-20x50 scope with the butler caps and the sunshade. I am now one step further to this project being done. Pics when it arrives!

Re: I just pulled the trigger, (not really)

is there any way to figure out how far something is? I have a few spots around my house where there seems to be some distance. I would like to know how far they are so when I get the scope I know how clear things are.

Really, didn't you learn measurement in grade 4. Perhaps a tape measure may do you well.

I do not own a rangefinder yet, and I dont thing a tape measure will stretch over my neighbors land. What is it Size of target x 1000 divided by Mils on the scope?

Wait til your optic gets there and practice ranging with the mil reticle. Google is your friend as to how that works, but if you can do 2nd grade math then I bet you can figure it out.

THAT JUST HAPPENED!

Order a Mildot Master from SWFA. You can accurately range with a mildot scope, and the mildot master makes it easy. Also it is inexpensive.
