Anybody ever handwritten the dope chart on the stock with a sharpie? It can be scrubbed off with rubbing alcohol. I wonder if it will hold up to face grease and wear and tear. Touching it up every now and then isn't an issue, but wouldn't want to do it more than occasionally. The fading eyes really appreciate it.

Why not print it out and affix with clear tape?

Clear tape doesnt stick well for me. When the edges peel up I can't stand the feel on my cheek. Tired of screwing with it. Also, to get it large enough to easily see (for me) requires a big piece of paper that doesnt fit well on the stock. Plus, this just looks more professional.

I would write it on the other side of the stock. Do it backwards, so when you roll the rifle towards you, you are looking at the dope in the correct orientation.

Intellesting...I'd of thought,that I'd of thunk of it long ago. Always nice to learn sumptin' new. Thanks! I wonder if you could do it in a scope cap too,now thatchja' bring it up? You'd think gettin' 1150yds in an ocular,would be a touch more than handy,if only because it would seem to stare you in the face. Beaver Dope upon same,might also serve a purpose on a Krunchenticker,due sight height and a 6.2 Mil correction bein' requisite at the 10yd line,or so it would seem. Beaver Dope and 2000yd comeups would seem to cover a little ground. It would seem that if'n ya' denoted total available erector travel,zero locale and corroborated same with a 'stop,that thangs would get purty easy for Newb's even. I wonder if anyone has ever used the approach to mark an ammo box or two,in case they had more than one 30-'06? Trend setters...I'll say. Laffin'!

Went the Butler Creek dope chart route for years. Two problems. Can't see the fine print anymore and don't run Butler Creeks anymore. The sock is more better.
Got to admit, the thought crossed my mind, Stick will be proud. LOL
BTW, like the parallax reference point mark. I'll have to do that. Trend setter.

I always end up breaking the ocular Butler Creek off. Damn things are such crap anymore, I wouldn't want dope on em. Surprised they give even a hint of warm and fuzzy Stick.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

That might be handy for you who live in constant climate areas. I plopped a bullet right under a coyote who was staring at me from 18 moa out.....it was -8* and I had not validated below 30ish*. I was a full 1.25 moa slower at that temp.
And yes, it was hodgy extreme.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

I’m not an organ donor. I don’t believe in an afterlife, but I’d rather cover my bases in case there is and I need everything. You just never know.

Gorilla-brand clear packing tape. Put the paper underneath and enjoy.

Another option is to use adhesive backed paper in your home printer, and print the drop chart that applies to the elevation & conditions you're shooting in. It's easy enough to just stick it on the stock, and peel off later or just stick the next one on top like license tabs. Peel off the whole stack when it gets too tall.
