Great mental image on this January evening surrounded by so much snow here in Canada’s North

My punctuation peeve = .25-‘06 or .30-‘06 ‘06 is obviously a contraction of 1906,
Also , as a corrolary, why isn’t .270 Win known as .270-‘03, and similarly .280 Rem as .28-‘03 ??

Now that's getting deep right there.


Yup, Piled Higher and Deeper. ;-)

Rem 700 KS, 6.5-280 AI w/ 2-10 x 50 FFP Illum. What could be simpler ?
Confusion comes from parsing out the Zoom range ( 2x - 10x = 5x )

Cheers

Um, no - it's -8x



No, 338rules is right. 10 divided by 2 is 5, not 8. The base magnification is 2x and the zoom factor is 5X, which takes the base magnification of 2X to the max of 10X. An 8X zoom would take a 2X to 16X.

We were doing Algebra, dude. 2x minus 10x is negative 8x.
You were too busy trying to prove me wrong that you failed to see the Alebra class taking place. Pay attention! 😉
