I assume that scope is a NXS. Which reticle is that & what power?
It's an IOR 4-14X50 Tactical (with the sunshade that comes with the scope screwed on). The reticle is a SFP MP-8 calibrated at 10X, I was shooting at 14X in the video.
Actually I should have listed all this stuff in the first place:
Video:Meopta TGA 75 Spotting Scope with 30X wide angle ranging reticle eyepiece.
Lens adapter to the Sony Digital 8 Handycam from
http://www.lensadapter.net/ .
Bogen/Manfrotto 3420 Telephoto Lens Support.
Bogen/Manfrotto 3021BPRO Tripod Legs with 701RC2 Video Fluid Head (RC2 Quick Release).
Rifle:Sporter weight Browning A-Bolt hunting rifle. Lilja barrel, McMillan stock, APS Smithing job.
IOR 4-14X50 Tactical. Badger rings. My own base.
300 RUM, 94 grains Retumbo, 208 A-Max, Virgin Nosler brass, 3150 fps.
Rangefinder:Newcon LRB 3000 Pro, 7X40 Binocs. It isn't even sweating yet at this range.
How big is the gong. The only reason I ask is because I am wanting to make some more. I currently only have a small gong, but I want to make some bigger ones for > 500 Yards.
This one is 3' wide (exactly one Mil @ 1000 yds) by 2' high with a 1' circle painted in the middle. I typically use it from 800-1100 yds at its permanent location.
I also use one that's 2' wide by 18" tall with a 9" circle painted in the middle mostly from 500-800 (300-400 also with less powerful rifles).
Since most of my shooting is done alone and spotting my shots myself is difficult with that much recoil, I prefer large gongs
so even a "miss" (of the circle) is visible to me so I can learn from it.
Of course at 1500 yds even the big one is no longer really "big," which was one of the reasons for the whole video/spotting scope contraption.
