To critique my scope, one of the groups appears to have an MOA-ish offset to the left... Which would speak to an erector not tracking perfectly vertically. On the other hand, repeatability appears to be excellent; honestly better than I had expected. Are you sure that your scope is mounted in perfect alignement with the rifle? Even if it's slightly crooked that would cause the problem that you're seeing.

....... The eliminates the chance of your turret inadvertently getting rotated without your knowledge and maybe missing the shot of a lifetime. I recently witnessed that exact problem on a televised hunt. The hunter was using a super tricked out custom with a Night Force on it and he shot over his once in a lifetime ram by 10MOA.
Good grief!  Hired Gun how far was the ram?
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Hey All,
I am looking for a scope for my 7mm mag that has turret capabilities. I would like to be able to "dial in" on exact distances, especially in the 500-600+ yard range, as well as be able to adjust for side wind. Any suggestions on good scopes that are under $700? I have briefly looked at the Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 PA with the Dead-Hold BDC. I heard you could get some kind of a custom turret for these to be able to dial into yardages. Any thoughts on the vortex or any others would be great!
Thanks,
copple2 Stay MOA,forget BDC. Thank me later.............

What is your opinion on the TARGET DOT RETICLE for hunting?

Never lost a bet large enough,to go over 1MOA and prefer something in the 3/4 realm for killing..............

Can't say I care for the fine + hairs/varmint dot (Leupie 6.5X20 cranked LOW) when the light gets dim.
