Why would anyone feel obligated to provide you information to bolster their claims? Nothing that is being discussed here is a secret, in terms of reticles, and all of them are open-source information.
Why don't YOU do the work and get up to speed on modern optics and the TTPs that are relevant today? Like somebody else said, it looks like you were stuck in the mid 80s, and all of a sudden woke up 35 years later.
Maybe you should change your "callsign" to Rip Van Winkle...........
PRIMARILY
308pirate, no one should feel obligated to provide anyone with anything. I never said anyone should feel obligated. That is something that you built into the conversation all on your own accord. So that question is a question that you would be better off asking yourself and then answering yourself. Once you do this you can feel free to post your reply to your question here on this forum.
Never the less, the real matter of it is this... If someone says that they have information that corrects or clarifies a point, they are free to share that information in order to assist those, like myself who are still in the learning phase of Long Range Precision Marksmanship, which apparently some have surpassed.
SECONDLY
I don't desire to use "modern" optics.
Is that a crime against humanity? No it isn't.
This is still
America where citizens like you and I are still allowed to make our own choices regarding many things... such as which scope and reticle we choose to employ.
In my case as an
American citizen I choose to use the optic that utilizes MIL dots.
Your name calling and attempts at cyber peer pressure have absolutely no affect on my choice of scope nor reticle nor what I decide to post. -Just so that we're clear.
Again. This is still
America and we still abide by the
Constitution, the
Bill of Rights and the
amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America.
Just so that we are also clear, I have protected
YOUR right to
IGNORE my posts and do something else with your time.
I've also protected your right to
reply to my posts with immature responses such as calling me "Rip Van Winkle", which, if I'm being honest I found a bit endearing.
FINALLY
I like the MIL dot reticle. In fact I LOVE the MIL dot reticle.
I love it because in order to employ a MIL dot reticle it the
MARKSMAN himself or herself must be
knowledgeable in ballistics and Long Range Precision Marksmanship and must be able to do wind and range calculations from memorized formulas and or tables, etc.
In essence... I love the
PERSONAL CHALLENGE of using a MIL dot reticle.
There are those in
America, who much like myself still use either the
MIL dot or Duplex style reticles no matter how outdated you may or may not think that they are.
My posts are written specifically to assist those individuals. As you apparently are not one of those individuals, my posts are not designed with your method of marksmanship in mind.
Having stated this, I would assume that you would be able to find a forum that does address your style of marksmanship... or even better yet, perhaps you could take some time and
WRITE posts that discuss your style of marksmanship in stead of spending your time replying to people like me who write about outdated reticles etc.
Very Respectfully,
Mr. Rip Van Winkle
