Why is it the “excessive drop” applies only to the 9.3? Aren’t we allowed to use dots or turrets on it as well?
My M70 9.3X62 (22 1/2” barrel) wears an FX-II 6X36 with LR reticle. It works pretty well.
In my rifle both the 250 Accubond at 2650 fps and the 286 NP at 2475 fps have the same point-of-impact at 100 yards, and are zeroed to be 2 1/2" high at that range. The zero is roughly 225 yards.
With that zero, they are never more than 3" above line of sight. With the 250AB the dots are on at 300 and 375 yards,the post at 475. With the 286NP the dots are on at 275 and 350 yards, the post at 425.
How exactly is that setup helpless at 500 yards?
FWIW my 30-06 wears the same scope. One is as easy to hit with at 500 as the other.
