Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Dear Leupold

mm, which bogus pics were you talking about ?

The one dave7mm put up a little earlier. It's one of a pair alleging to show Leupold's obvious suckiness.

Formula is:

Distance to Target(Yards) = Height of Target (Inches) divided by he Size(mils) x 27.77.

Assuming this is a nice Mulie Buck, then TOp of back to botttom of chest is about 15 inches and it looks like it subtends 2 mils so . . . . . .

15/2 mils x 27.77 = 208 yards.

Good math!....you nailed it!

I carry a mildot master with me just in case something breaks.

Baffled a lot, eh?

Was up today, shall we say, returning some deer parts to the natural world from whence they came, and did some intermediate-range shooting since I was up where my steel plates happen to be.

Conditions were excellent and I was glad I brought my toys. My 604-yd plate got a talking-to in the form of numerous consecutive 200-NAB's launched from my Sendero II SF, 300 WM. Not a sexy rifle or caliber. Scope is a Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20. Jewell trigger.

I figure I've got about $2k in the rig. It does pretty good. I guess I'm of the mind that $6k buys a lot of ammo and a few more barrels!

.... the $2k isn't counting the lentils in the Crown Royal bag........

What's that taped to your stock..........Betty Crocker recipes ?

Drop chart for the ammo and bullet . . . . .

No, no, Roy got it right. Well, almost.

It's the Cliff notes for the condensed version of Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls". It's a good read when you are waiting for the barrel to cool.

It sure isn't a list of Boone and Crocket record animals taken in New Jersey Nice lookin' rig there Jeff.

To the original point of the thread: Dear Leupold, please continue to make your 4x33 and 2.5 scopes; include a 3x and an 8x.

Glad you still have a sense of humor.......

Mr. Burns,
I question your veracity in the extreme about it not being your intention to be rude from the beginning...

Further I didn't know I needed to file a solicitation to question one of your many assertions. The comment about your Leupold being the "best(scope) in the world" would generally be considered enough of a solicitation for discussion. On an open forum such as this one it is practically an invitation...

You would have gotten far farther by actually addressing the questions rather than beginning with a "short list of your mistakes"...

All that being said I have gained more than enough of an idea about you from your responses to have quashed any further interest.

Regards, Matt Garrett.

Btw, I don't consider you to be a "bad guy". Simply someone with too little faith in their knowledge which leads them to respond in a dull, heavy handed, and offensive manner to any comment not couched as a compliment. I've found through the years that the smartest riflemen, shooting instructors, rifle/pistol smiths, etc. have without fail been those with the most to teach... They have gone out of their way to share all that they have depending on your ability to grasp it... You've proven the antithesis to that trend.

Though as the old saying goes a bad start makes for a good ending... Good Evening.

Pat, check out the Canon G11 or G12.

Is it small and compact?

Pat,

It's not quite as small as some point and shoot cameras but it's still considerably smaller than an SLR. It's got full manual control features and you can shoot in RAW format. (which doesn't compress the image and you've got complete control over the processing when opening in Photoshop)

The articulating screen is what sealed the deal for me. PERFECT for getting sweet field picts without the need for contortionist skills.

Couple of shots from AK that I had handy in my photobucket account that were taken with it;

Well Matt,

My advice to you would be to not end your post asking someone to show where you are mistaken if, when they do as your requested, you are going to get all huffy.

Man up a little and take the free advice for what it is worth.

On a side note your are the first guy who told me I have �too little faith in their knowledge�. I think most guys around here don�t question my faith, just the knowledge end of it.

Morning Pat, it appears you may have a chart on your front rest? If so,do you have a better pic?

Many thx and as Wild Bill would say "shoot straight"

Dober

Am I the only one that is thinking that the best way to resolve a lot of this would be to get John, Matt, and Larry in one place and have them bring their rifles, put them to the test, and video (and post) the results?
