That's why Chris Kyle only could only shoot 2100 yards with his 338 Lapua. If he would have had another scope he could have easily hit center mass on a towel covered head at 2500.

Chris Kyle used a Nightforce for that shot and most of his others!

On the 300 Mag, yes. On the 338 Lapua, nope. Pictures in his book show it also, and Leupold confirmed it:

Ken, if you'd actually read that article, you'd realize Kyle was a Nightforce fan. One could assume that leupold on his Lapua was simply part of the package he received.

You clearly don't shoot a lot. Failed leupold erector assemblies, and tracking issues aren't fiction.

Maybe he was a NF fan, but seems he made LR shots with a Loopie. It's OK dogcatcher. Some things are out of your control. mtmuley

Jorge, I was a lot smarter before I had the misfortune of reading your posts. You should try taking that old dust covered gun of yours out shooting sometime. You might learn something.

Easy in your case, when all you have to go is "up", but on the gun,Ok, I will..

That is where the trouble started in the first place. He got his gun out and discovered an erector problem

Nothing brings out the LDS better than posting evidence proving that Leupold Scopes work.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
