I have them on an AR10, .223, and my 300 WM. Can't explain it but it has a better FOV than they should! If my shots on norm would be closer ranges than the 6 would suit you better IMHO.


Good Shooting!

I was thinking about a 10x SS for a .22 rifle. Looks like a winner...

My millirad scopes are worthless to me. The turrets are in .31" clicks or something.

All those mili reticles are useless too.

I don't know anyone and have never met anyone who wants this millirad stuff, or this first focal plane stuff that makes the reticle disappear for close running shots.

What an ignorant comment spoken by someone who shoots 15 rounds a year. Brilliant!

Isn't that a mixed metaphor?
Going from "ignorant" to Brilliant"?

Clark,

Your shots are under a 100 yards and you're even commenting about adjustments?

?

It is not metaphor--it is sarcasim.

If you are stuck in the city shooting 100 yards, this is probably not the best topic for you to comment on.

Perhaps a pop gun, complete with cork and string. (only a little sarcasm)

I am at the South end of Mercer Island using the Issaquah range for 11 months a year.
One month a year I stay in Eastern montana for deer, antelope, and elk.
Sometimes two months a year when I go in the spring for prairie dogs.

I sighted the 6.5-06 Dumoulin I built this year to 100y and worked up loads at Issaquah. Then in MT I made marks on the turret to 600 yards before hunting started. I then shot a doe at 629 and 250 yards with that rifle. The 300WM Mosin I built was sighted in to 500 yards in MT and shot a buck at 250 yards. The 6mmRem I built never got past Issaquah.

I typically build 3 rifles a year, but I buy a lot more scopes than that.

You buy more than three scopes a year...and you haven't found what works yet?

How good IS your reading comprehension?

I am at 100 yards for 10 to 11 months of the year.

Only cause you won't drive an extra 45 minutes up I-90 to Stampede Pass..... there's all kinds of LR shots to be had there. But you won't find a covered concrete bench, coffee pot and snack bar, or a bunch of wankers in a circle jerk over Fred's new Cooper.... all of which seem more desirable to you than field fired empirical dope or reliable scope adjustments.


You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
