We'll see what I think. Yep, the 6x works just fine on my "plinking rifle".

Rock measures close to 1/2 Mil wide (about 17" at 940 yards)...........less than 1/2 mil tall (probably close to 12" high)
First shot held 5 Mil wind, not enough, 2nd shot I flubbed and it went low, 3rd and 4th round impacts and 5th kicked some dust up on it right at the base. I had been banging rocks at 702 yards earlier, but this was my FIRST attempt at the rock at 940. Pretty cool getting a 3rd round impact with this setup.........."Lobbing" them in there.

940 yards
15MPH quartering tail wind
Ruger American Ranch rifle in 7.62x39



yes that is good. Especially as the bullet went subsonic about 650 yds.


Thanks,
Long poke for that cartridge indeed.
approximately.....
885 FPS impact velocity
215 ft/lbs energy
2.2 sec flight time
700 inches or 58 FEET of drop

It wasn't windy at all either.....haha

Glass in the 6x is obviously adequate......coke bottle ish and "fishbowly" on the edges............but the bastids track like lazers

I'm excited to look through the 3-9x..............no need for "testing" other than whether I'm happy enough with the optics for deer hunting. I already know they "work"
