Didn't even tote the chronograph and simply ballparked 3175fps with 88gr Smooches and DOPE was on the money,to 1300yds. Erector was off .7 Mils to the right of mechanical center and when ele was bottomed out,it put .5 Mil high at 100yds,which equates to a 250 zero. I miss the 6x MQ's parallax,finer reticle and 10 extry mils on the erector,but will slum it as configured,as a fhuqking Sleeper. Were I not in a hurry,I'd of swapped rings around,to see WTF it did to windage.

All in all an VERY good call,with zero concessions. Throating was on the money,as was Alpha neck clearance and I need to score a Montucky donor to build a Flyweight Bitch.

Hint.................


One thing I like about the 3-9x is that it shares reticle subtensions with the 6x, so it makes transitioning fairly seamless, aside from the difference in erector travel and adjustable parallax. Nice to have a "built-in" zero stop, though, as it's pretty easy to bottom out the erector with a reasonable zero.


I've managed to coax most the mechanical goody,outta more than a few erectors. It takes 75 MOA to do so on a 6x or 10x MQ,as a minimum. 45 MoMo's of inclination in this application,just happened to work out,but I'm still 13.5+ Mils of mechanics,shy of a good time and dat's a bitter pill. This 3-9x coughs up 26.5 Mils of total travel and most 6x MQ's will cough up 42 Mils. In Today's atmosphere,the 3-9x will reach the 1970yd line mechanically(all erector alone). Will find out in the morning,if Theory melds with Application.(grin)

Took this POS out of the Mail,earlier in the day. It has 33.2 Mils of total mechanical,with windage centered.

You guys are gonna talk me into trying out a 6x MQ yet.

LAUGHING!
