Here I thought this was the “Hunting Optics” forum. I love being able to dial the scope on my 6.5 creedmoor & reach out over 1,000 yards on targets but that isn’t hunting for me.
My range at home is 225 yards but I have an elk vitals sized rock at 500. I don’t own a center fire rifle that can’t consistently hit near the center of the rock with holdover. Will I win a target competition that way? - not hardly. Will I get to eat lots of delicious dead stuff- all day long.
I use a calibrated reticle that is good to 800 but simple holdover is all 90+% of hunters will ever need and is so much faster than dialing its more practical for hunting.
