How far is a longish shot on a powerline?
If you're repeatedly shooting sub half inch groups it doesn't seem like the fat crosshair reticle is holding you back.
400-500 yards. I’m not one of the “long range sniper shot only” crowd but potential long shots are a reality where I live. Huge ag community with large flat fields. Those 50-75 yard shots don’t happen too awfully much here. Needed a doe to close out the season last year and a nice fat one stepped out right at 400. I had to take a little longer than usual to aim….the dang crosshairs seemed to cover her whole vitals.
